About Kelly
Kelly Dambra is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings nine years of experience helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and codependency. Kelly uses a warm, interactive style that focuses on each person’s strengths and goals.
She aims to form a collaborative relationship with clients. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long lectures. Kelly adapts her methods to the person in front of her and the problems they want to solve.
Kelly often draws on client-centered work to make clients feel heard and respected. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used to build small, manageable changes that add up over time.
People bring many kinds of concerns, including stress, grief, substance struggles, intimacy-related issues, and the effects of past abuse. She also supports people facing workplace problems, panic, mood swings, and issues around commitment or jealousy. Therapy sessions aim to increase coping skills and clearer communication.
Her experience includes helping survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and those coping with compassion fatigue. Kelly explains options, listens closely, and works with each person to set realistic steps forward. To begin, she asks clients to identify goals and then tailors the plan to those aims.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach still prioritize being heard, clarifying goals, and shaping the pace to the client’s needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In online sessions CBT can include short coaching between exercises and homework tailored to daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That conversation can happen in the first few sessions and the plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling around work or family needs. It can also make shorter check-ins or structured skill-practice easier to arrange on an ongoing basis.
