Rachel Kelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience in the mental health and addictions field. Rachel works with adults who are seeking help with trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, and life transitions.
Having worked for the past 30+ years in many facets of the behavioral health and drug and alcohol field, I strongly believe that successful treatment begins with the development of a strong therapeutic relationship. By providing a safe, trusting and open environment, I offer you the opportunity to express yourself in your unique way and work with you through understanding and support, utilizing your strengths as building blocks. Positive change occurs only when the therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the needs of the person and I utilize evidence based approaches to help you meet your goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work exclusively with an adult population providing individual, marital/relationship and family therapy to individuals in Nanticoke, PA and the surrounding area. I look forward to hearing from you and will gladly answer any questions you may have about my experience, expertise and approach. Your improved well-being and quality of life is my goal for you.
I take a holistic approach that incorporates mind, body, and spirit. I believe it's important to integrate life meaning into counseling. I respect all faith backgrounds (including none), work within personal belief frameworks, and have appreciation for alternative paths as well as mainstream religions. I'll work with you to set goals and the proper pacing of therapy. Therapy is a collaboration, as ultimately the power to change rests within you. I emphasize unconditional positive regard, respect, a safe and caring therapeutic relationship, individual strengths, and taking control over choices.
Dr. Fuller aims to minimize the frequency and intensity of the client's suffering and emotional pain, as well as self-defeating patterns, and he helps the client to develop skills leading to life satisfaction and goal achievement. In doing this, Dr. Fuller places a strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT) and associated techniques. Dr. Fuller tailors these and other techniques to the needs of the individual. This approach helps clients successfully overcome present issues, whether they are long-standing (chronic) or critical (acute) issues. Scientifically-based methods are highlighted, and when there are no empirically supported treatments, reliance on theory and clinical judgment is utilized to provide clients with comprehensive and customized treatment of his or her particular conditions. He emphasizes the present, while helping clients to understand how relationships and historical events may still be affecting their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors today. Active methods of dealing with the here-and-now are stressed. Clients rapidly learn behavioral and cognitive skills that allow them to effectively deal with circumstances in their life.

What makes a good life? Plenty of money, you may say. Or good health. Professional success. A long-term relationship. Getting to your goal weight. Having a large apartment in your chosen neighborhood. Children. Newsflash: These can be components of a miserable life or a satisfying one! What do I mean by this? A good life starts from the inside! We all know people who are in peak health and are unhappy. And you have probably heard of terminally ill people who are fully enjoying their remaining time. Same with money or lack of it. Same with professional success, long-term relationships, etc. There are people who seem to be doing very well on paper who are miserable, and people who are not doing well by external standards who are a pleasure to be around. What makes the difference is being able to deal with the people and situations in your life today, and to learn to be happy yourself, rather than looking for someone else to make you feel good about yourself or to make you happy. Walking around feeling insecure, depressed, anxious, lacking a sense of purpose, or feeling like you are a burden to your friends, this is not the life you dreamed of having as a child, and it’s not the life you want today. How do you go from here to a satisfying life? Good therapy makes all the difference in the world. Starting therapy is a sign of strength, and that’s something to feel good about. I bring empathy, warmth, curiosity, and the courage to sit with you in your pain, and to help you find a way through. There may be tears, and there will also be some laughter along the way. This is life, after all. I’ve been working with individuals and couples since 1995. My approach is to connect with you, get to know you, relate, and bring a deep understanding of human psychology to our work together, so you can define and create a satisfying life for yourself. Your idea of a satisfying life is unique to you, not a one-size-fits-all life reached by a one-size-fits-all therapy. You don’t have to be perfect to have a good life. The people in your life don’t have to be perfect, nor do your circumstances. Whew! What a relief! Life can be messy and unpredictable, and you can still look for and enjoy the bright spots, and be in love with your life. I’d like to work with you, help you create that life, and help you deal with the things, past and present, that get in the way of your enjoyment. Maybe you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, job stress, illness, difficulty in relationships, substance-use issues, a recent breakup, a move, family pressures, whatever this messy life sends your way. Whether you’re a recent graduate adjusting to life beyond college, the parent of someone “leaving the nest,” or you’re dealing with the death of a loved one, starting a career, or looking at retirement, whatever your challenges are, I’m here to help you face them, learn to handle them in a way you can look back on and feel good about, and learn from the mistakes we all make along the way as humans. We’ll work together to help you find the joy in everyday life!
I have been working with individuals and couples for over 25 years in a private practice setting based in New York City and New Jersey. It is my hope and intent to foster a working therapeutic environment in which people can feel free to express themselves in ways that will open up new ways of thinking, being and relating. .The most rewarding, yet, challenging aspect to living is being in relationship with ourselves and with another. How to navigate and sustain feelings of connectedness while maintaining a sense of authenticity is part of what I find people to be struggling with, especially in our culture of high demand and expectation. My experience in working with trauma, addictive disorders, abuse issues, life-transitions, as well as general anxiety and depression, has led me to believe that people are seeking ways towards achieving some sense of worth, meaning and well being. Over time, we will find ways together to speak to those parts of the self that have been in need of attention and support, making room for new experiences to emerge.
I help individuals process change - wanted or unwanted. Losses are important to recognize and acknowledge their importance. Some losses we experienced earlier this week, others happened to us while we were quite young. I'll educate to acknowledge the presence of emotions, monitor emotions, and the ability to listen to their important messages that will lead to growth and behavior that is beneficial! I've found I'm a great fit for the 20-something to 40-something man who isn't easily aware of his emotions and therefore may be experiencing shortcomings (or roadblocks) in his life. Clients who work in the Arts, Education, Finance, and Entrepreneurs find my style complimentary to their own strengths and perspectives.
You’re tired. Maybe you’ve been holding everything together for everyone else, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Your mind won’t slow down. You replay conversations. Old pain shows up when you least expect it. You’re functioning but you’re not at peace. If that’s where you are, you don’t need to be fixed. You need space to breathe, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to feel steady again. When we work together, I help you slow things down. We identify the patterns keeping you stuck and gently unpack the experiences that still feel heavy. I don’t believe in just talking about problems. I focus on helping you experience real relief in your daily life. If trauma is part of your story, we may use EMDR to help your brain and nervous system reprocess painful memories so they stop hijacking your present. If anxiety is loud, we’ll build practical tools to quiet the noise and help you feel grounded and in control. I’m warm, direct, and culturally responsive. I’ll support you, challenge you when needed, and walk alongside you as you build clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. You don’t need the perfect words. You just need to show up. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.
