Kelly McKenna, LCSW, MBA
I am here to help you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer individual therapy to help you meet your goals. I will listen to you, challenge you, and support you so that you can experience the growth and change you’ve been looking for.
As a Therapist, I take a hands-on collaborative approach. I will help you learn to think differently and will provide you with the tools and coping skills needed to manage your anxiety.
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, accountability, and authenticity.”

My Background
I believe the relationship you have with your therapist is the most important factor in determining how successful therapy will be for you.
It is so important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. In my private practice, I work mostly with millennial women and teens dealing with anxiety, self-esteem, and communication issues.
I can personally relate to these issues, which is something most of my clients really appreciate. I’m a millennial therapist which means I’m on Instagram and TikTok. Sometimes, I’ll bring up relevant content in sessions!
In my professional career, I’ve done a lot of different things besides being a Therapist.
I have worked in inpatient substance abuse settings, schools, community centers, homeless shelters, and nonprofits.
Most recently I worked in a senior leadership position at an NYC nonprofit where I managed several large programs, over $10 million annually, and a team of 70 people. I oversaw programs working with young adults and veterans - providing housing, mental health counseling, case management, and employment services.
Credentials
I received my Masters of Social Work and Masters of Business Administration from Florida State University.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), and Intuitive Eating (IE).
I use an integrative approach, meaning that I will use a combination of therapeutic techniques depending on what you need. Because everyone is different!
