About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward conversation to make the first steps feel manageable. Kelly keeps sessions focused on real-life goals and small changes that add up over time.
Kelly earned two master’s degrees from St. John’s University: a Master of Professional Studies and a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling. She practiced as a paralegal before switching careers in her late twenties, and she moved from New York City to Florida in 2014. Her work across different settings shaped how she listens and responds to practical problems.
In the room she emphasizes that clients are experts on their own lives. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities, and she uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused steps are mixed in to help people notice progress and build small skills.
Kelly has about 11 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder and ADHD. She also addresses topics such as codependency, body image, and addiction-related issues. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills and increase everyday functioning.
Her counseling style is direct but warm. She encourages practical homework and short-term goals when useful. Getting started involves a brief matching step and scheduling a first session so goals can be set together.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps clients set goals that feel relevant to daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will check goals, preferences, and how a person responds to different techniques. Decisions about which methods to try are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that match a work break. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so logistics match your needs.
