About Kelly
Hello! I’m Kelly Jacobson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Stronger Therapeutic Counseling Services, Inc.
I partner with my clients to help discover and begin to utilize your existing personal strengths to live a life with a stronger sense of purpose, to be your happiest, most loving, and strongest self.
My optimistic approach toward personal development coaching allows you to reveal your stronger self and live the life you deserve today.
As women, we have so many roles and expectations that we place on ourselves; expectations that we take on, that are put on us, and that we absorb without realizing. When we are living and caring for everyone else but ourselves, we often think that we can just grind through it and things will get better soon. Living life just going through the motions and hoping that things will improve on their own can take a toll on our mental health, and truly doesn’t guarantee happiness now. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, worried, and stressed can drain the joy we have left for ourselves at the end of the day.
I have seen first hand how intentionally embarking on a journey of personal development can lead to improved happiness and personal growth; allowing you to live a life that truly feels inspired, balanced, and all that you deserve and dream about.
By offering a modern approach to my coaching and therapy clients, it is important to me to offer consistent tips and tangible tools that can be easily be practiced outside of our time together. I understand that life happens in between our sessions, and it is important to me to offer you tangible tools that you can start to use and begin to immediately apply to your life to begin experiencing a greater sense of balance, happiness, productivity, and connection in the relationships that you are a part of.

As a mom, I know that by supporting women, I am not just supporting you but I am supporting your family. I know that how you respond to stress affects how you can genuinely show up to be your happiest, most loving, and strongest self for your family.
If you are a young woman or teen, I know our work together will offer you the inspiration and hope you are looking for to begin living the life you desire now as well as nurture the future life you imagine for yourself.
Educationally, I have extensive training and experience in the field of social work and education. I earned a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2006 from Dominican University as well as a Master’s Degree from Benedictine University in 2012 in Educational Leadership.
With over a decade of my professional experiences within the educational setting, I have found that I am most inspired connecting to millennial women and teens struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression.
I understand how symptoms can impact one during the work or school day and disrupt or interfere in the relationships they have with friends, teachers/colleagues, and family. I have successfully assisted women in better navigating the system that they are apart of while equipping them with tools and strategies to feel prepared to embark on life more inspired, renewed, and confident.
I believe that my compassionate and thoughtful approach will not only assist you in reaching your goals, however; will offer you a trained professional that will push you to uncover Your Stronger Self and begin to live the life that you deserve and dream about.
