Online Texas & Florida LCSW Supervision
Online Supervision for Texas and Florida LMSWs
with Kelsey Blahnik, LCSW-S
Hello! I'm Kelsey, the Executive Director at The And Way Therapy Group and a qualified supervisor in both Florida and Texas. I offer weekly group supervision sessions for LMSWs in Texas, designed to equip you for your future as an LCSW.
With years of experience in both private and public sectors, I've worked in diverse settings, including detox inpatient and MAT outpatient substance abuse treatment centers, housing programs for the HIV positive population, and with an intensive team for veterans at the VA. My journey also includes independently starting a private practice from scratch. This varied experience allows me to help you navigate the challenges and opportunities in the field. By owning my own practice, I'm easily accessible to provide guidance.
In our supervision sessions, I draw from core modalities such as EMDR-IFS, DBT, and ERP. My clinical specialties include OCD, trauma, anxiety, couples therapy, and supporting helping professionals. I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative environment that helps you reach your professional goals.
To learn more about my clinical approach and determine if we're a good fit, I invite you to set up a free supervision consultation with me. Let's embark on this journey together!

I cannot say enough good things about supervision with Kelsey! I have had multiple supervisors in my LCSW journey and Kelsey is by far the best. Her openness, authenticity, and expertise has led me to become the social worker I always wanted to be. Her connections to NASW and ability to advocate for her supervisees has made me feel so supported throughout the whole process. She is a model for what social workers should be and continues to inspire me!
