About Kelly

Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive approach that centers on building a collaborative relationship. Kelly focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel safer, more connected, and more in control of their lives.

She commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Kelly also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues such as jealousy and infidelity. Her work includes addressing codependency, communication problems, and workplace or career stress.

Kelly blends client-centered ways of working with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. She adapts methods to the person in front of her and the goals they bring. Sessions are meant to build on existing strengths and create small, realistic changes that add up over time.

Her style is direct but compassionate. Kelly encourages open conversation about difficult subjects while helping clients develop tools for panic, mood shifts, and painful memories. She frames therapy as a team effort and checks in often to make sure the plan still fits.

People who want to address jealousy, commitment worries, or patterns that repeat across relationships may find clear, practical steps in her work. Kelly aims to help people move from crisis to steadier routines and clearer choices.

How core approaches guide online work

Kelly uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, helping them feel heard and noticed so they can set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and helps people try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That way the plan can be adjusted as progress is made or new concerns appear.

The practical value of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. Ask about the session options before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use CBT techniques, solution-focused problem solving, and trauma-informed pacing effectively in remote sessions when those methods match a client's goals.
