Kelly Morana-Piazza, LPC, LMHC

Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She introduces straightforward ways to cope and supports clients as they take steps toward change. Her approach is down-to-earth, with an emphasis on practical tools people can use between sessions.

She earned two master’s degrees from St. John’s University: a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in 2007 and a Master of Science in Education (MSEd) in clinical mental health counseling in 2013. She practiced as a paralegal before shifting careers to counseling, and she relocated from New York City to Florida in 2014. She brings 11 years of counseling experience to her work as an LPC and LMHC.

In sessions she centers the person’s goals and strengths. She encourages people to notice what already works and to build on those resources. She mixes practical strategies with supportive listening to address day-to-day struggles and relationship concerns.

Her clinical work includes techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. These approaches are used to address issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

People come to her when they need help sorting through complicated emotions or big life shifts. She invites clients to take small, achievable steps and to try tools that fit their routine. The emphasis is on steady progress and on tailoring the work to each person’s needs.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s perspective first. The therapist listens closely and helps people set goals that matter to them, then supports steps toward those goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making appointments during a lunch break. Licensed professionals can guide how to use strategies like CBT homework or mindfulness practices between sessions to keep momentum going.
