About Kelli

Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends practical tools with a warm, person-centered style. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Kelli emphasizes strengths and steady progress in short, clear steps.

She draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-Based and client-centered work focus on building safer ways of relating and increasing self-awareness.

Over nine years she has worked with many individuals facing trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. Kelli uses techniques that aim to reduce symptom cycles and build healthier routines. She also brings experience addressing family of origin issues, body image concerns, codependency, communication problems, and separation or divorce.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns and try small changes between meetings. Therapy often includes skill practice, gentle feedback, and planning for real-life situations. Her goal is to help people feel more in control and connected to what matters to them.

She practices in California as an LMFT and works in English. Before booking, verify current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match your needs.

How Kelli’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds shape feelings and behavior; it helps people understand connection patterns and grow more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and choices, offering a listening stance that helps people name their needs and make changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelli collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts tools over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work on emotions and relationships into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Many people find skills practice and homework fit well into an online format, letting them try new behaviors between meetings and bring results back to discuss.
