About Kelly
Kelly Dambra is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She brings nine years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. Kelly aims to create a straightforward, approachable atmosphere where clients can speak honestly and set clear goals.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions often begin by identifying a client's strengths and immediate concerns, then building small steps toward change.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of therapies to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Kelly has worked with people coping with trauma, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, and grief. She also assists clients facing addiction, mood challenges, panic attacks, and workplace or career strain.
Parenting is a named focus, so she helps parents manage stress, communication struggles, and balancing family responsibilities. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools for day-to-day life. Techniques may include thought-focused exercises, brief solution plans, and trauma-informed strategies adapted to what the client prefers.
The aim is to build skills that fit into real routines. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of remote formats. Kelly emphasizes a nonjudgmental approach and works with people to choose strategies that feel workable and realistic for their situation.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and builds a plan based on their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often suits anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and short-term goals to create progress quickly, which can be useful for parenting concerns, workplace problems, and day-to-day stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will talk with each client about what feels most useful and combine methods to match needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions that fit the person's goals and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, work breaks, or times when a shorter check-in is more helpful.
