About Lara
Lara Kelso is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and depression. She encourages people who are ready to reach out and takes a straightforward, supportive approach from the first contact.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name problems and pick small steps to try between meetings. That might mean practicing a new way to handle a difficult conversation, testing a change in routine to ease anxiety, or reshaping thoughts that feed low mood.
Her style draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses client-centered and narrative methods to center the person's perspective and life story. Solution-focused work is used when clients want concrete, short-term goals.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Parents who are worn out by caretaking demands will find clear strategies to reduce stress and improve communication. People coping with loss, trauma, or big life changes can expect steady support and attention to what matters most to them.
