About Kylie
Kylie Docksey is an AASW social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She writes and talks in a respectful, down-to-earth way. Kylie aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Kylie draws on five years of professional experience in community and clinical settings across Australia. She works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, low mood or depression, and relationship or family-related concerns. Kylie also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and ageing issues.
Her approach is collaborative and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and preferences. Conversations look at practical steps, building skills, and noticing what matters most in everyday life.
Kylie uses a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy strategies, mindfulness practices and client-centred conversation. She also brings elements of motivational interviewing and solution-focused thinking to help people find momentum when motivation is low.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings. Kylie highlights small changes that can make daily life feel steadier. If you are weighing up therapy, she encourages a short matching process to see if her style fits your needs.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Kylie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. ACT mixes acceptance of difficult feelings with practical steps toward a more meaningful life.She also applies Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. These tools are useful for urgent feelings, panic attacks and strong emotional reactions. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her work too, offering a listening, non-judgemental space that helps people feel heard and understood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kylie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed rather than insisting on one method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are set by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as taking a session during a work break or joining from a location with quieter surroundings. It can also support a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth or time is limited. Ask about formats when you start the matching process so sessions match your schedule and needs.
