Work with Kelly Brast (LPC-S, LSOTP, CART) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

Kelly is so thoughtful and detail oriented. She is a approachable, a friend but most importantly my therapist who has helped me tremendously!

Written on Mar 28, 2024 after therapy with Kelly for 3 years and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

She has helped me so much and in so many ways. Not enough words to describe it.

Kelly has been my therapist for so long I've lost track, but for good reason. She's seen every side of me and helped me work on so many of my problems when I felt like I was a lost cause. She has made herself available every day since the first day I texted her on a weekend and was surprised to get a response back that same day. She has helped me come so far, walked me off so many ledges, and listened to my long winded rants all to help me see the good in me. Highly recommended.

Kelly is nothing short of amazing. Not only does she help me by talking through any and all life issues at any given point, she is infinitely supportive through all of it. She provides great insight and perspective, guidance without judgement, and makes it clear that she is lock-step with me the whole way.

I have only had two live sessions so far with Kelly Brast, and it already feels like I am talking with a wise and trusted friend. She has brought so much more out of me than I dreamed possible prior to this counseling experience. And I have had years of therapy prior to trying BetterHelp. In such a short amount of time on the app, with Kelly, so much has changed for me. She has given me a lot of clarity and understanding and some wonderful guidance and direction. I feel so lucky to have been matched with her!

Written on Sep 27, 2019 after therapy with Kelly for 2 weeks on issues concerning trauma and abuse, and anger management

I came to Kelly when I was at a really low point in my life. I didn't know what to expect, as one would with any therapist, but Kelly was everything I never knew I wanted in a therapist, and more. She was funny, she was patient, she was kind, and understanding. Even though I never personally met her, she touched my heart, and helped get my life in the right direction. I really and truly appreciate her ability to treat you like a friend you've known all your life. She makes it really easy to open up, and she does a wonderful job with helping you connect the dots in your brain. I would recommend her a million times if I could!

Since speaking with Kelly i have been able to work thorough some long rooted issues. Giving me a little better perspective on what I need to do for myself to move forward with a happier me.

Kelly Brast is by far the best therapist I have EVER worked with. How she taps into personality types to be able to talk not like a "therapist" but more of a friend, with knowledge and training. How she is able to balance those aspects in the way she does is impeccable.
She is caring but will light JUST enough of a motivational "fire" under your butt to get you going in the right direction.
From day one, her ability to get ME to open up shocked even myself.

This BetterHelp therapist deserves an award, and I would personally travel TO the ceremony to clap for her amazing skills and ways she is undoubtedly helping many, many people with her skills.
