About Kelly
Kelly Dambra uses a client-centered approach to guide sessions. She blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to help people manage symptoms and meet goals. Kelly is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience and practices in Florida.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and problems tied to trauma or abuse.
How Kelly works
Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, and workplace issues. Kelly’s style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and build on existing strengths.
She works collaboratively with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to find small, practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Therapy sessions may include straightforward skill practice, problem-solving for current concerns, and processing difficult experiences when appropriate. Kelly uses trauma-focused approaches when trauma or abuse is part of a person’s history while keeping the pace guided by the client.
She offers several online formats to make scheduling easier, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Kelly describes therapy as a joint process where progress comes from steady effort and targeted strategies rather than quick fixes. She encourages people to try an initial session and see how the working relationship feels.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It emphasizes understanding, respect, and building on strengths to help people feel heard and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is useful for addressing panic, mood disorders, and workplace stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to find what fits best. Together they will set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That shared decision-making guides whether sessions focus more on skills, problem-solving, or trauma processing.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing check-ins, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress consistent.
