Kellie Steele, LCSW
Specializes In:
Kellie Steele helps clients across Georgia find steadiness and direction when life feels overwhelming or emotionally tangled. Through individual and group therapy at LifeStance Health, she partners with teens, adults, and seniors to reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and create forward movement. Her approach blends clinical insight with warmth, offering structured support for those seeking meaningful, lasting change in their mental health. Kellie specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, and she frequently supports individuals navigating substance use concerns, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Her work is grounded in evidence-based care, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She has experience serving diverse populations, including military members and veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ individuals, and she offers additional therapeutic interventions tailored to each person’s goals. A defining focus of Kellie’s work is helping clients illuminate clarity through the chaos and develop practical strategies that move them from feeling stuck to empowered action. She is deeply passionate about guiding individuals who feel immobilized by stress, grief, or internal conflict toward renewed confidence and purpose. By combining insight-building with actionable tools, she helps clients translate emotional awareness into real-life progress. Kellie earned her degrees from East Carolina University and The University of Alabama and has been practicing since 2013. Outside the therapy space, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, being outdoors, traveling, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and staying active through the gym and walking—activities that reflect her belief in balance and whole-person wellness. Kellie Steele proudly serves teens, adults, and seniors throughout Georgia with compassionate, clinically sound mental health care.
