Kelly Dauer, MSW, LICSW
Psychotherapist - Telehealth/Virtual only
Clinical expertise in treating individuals and couples seeking care for a variety of mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and trauma in the form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
My Story
I have been working with people for my entire life. I started working in the mental health field over 20 years ago. I became a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in 2019 after discovering my passion for helping people feel better and empowering them to improve their lives by improving their overall mental health.
Professional Experience
I have adapted a systemic approach to therapy, recognizing the importance of understanding the culture, systems, and relationships that shape people’s lives and challenges. I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental, warm, and supportive environment in therapy, offering empathy, collaboration, and authenticity. I strive to help clients identify their internal and external resilience and strengths while teaching tools to cope with stress and improve connections. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), narrative, and solution-focused techniques. I aim to help clients develop more adaptive habits that lead to meaningful and fulfilling lives. I have experience working with couples, families, and individuals facing relational issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Clinician Specialties
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? You might be feeling depressed or deep despair.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
Online Counseling
Mindfully Healing clinicians are now offering video telehealth therapy services to both new and established clients.
"Mindfully Healing embraces a personal growth based model unlike a problem or deficiency based model of traditional mental health... Our clients experience this during their first session."
Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
