About Kylie
Kylie Docksey is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, panic attacks, grief or low self-esteem. Kylie talks plainly and aims to make the first steps less frightening for a worried parent or someone under pressure.
She listens with sensitivity and adapts conversations to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer thinking, not jargon. Kylie helps people build steady routines, strengthen coping skills and practise small changes that add up.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice difficult thoughts without being pushed around by them. She also uses client-centred techniques to follow what matters to the person in front of her. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when someone needs help managing intense emotion or strong anxiety.
Kylie often works on problems such as relationships, life changes, chronic illness, caregiving stress and feelings of isolation. She supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, and loss while keeping sessions focused on immediate, usable strategies.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Kylie tailors plans so people can try new skills between sessions and check what works. She aims to make therapy useful and manageable, even when life feels complicated.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values. It uses simple exercises to change how someone responds to painful thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and breathing or grounding practices to reduce the intensity of panic and worry. These skills can lower reactivity and make anxiety easier to manage in daily life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, creating space for people to find their own answers and priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps in day-to-day life and what the client wants to focus on.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support practising mindfulness and behavioural exercises between meetings so skills are more likely to transfer into everyday routines.
