About Kelly
Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Sessions also address stress, grief, addictions, workplace concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. That practical emphasis guides conversations about day-to-day coping and specific behavior changes.
Her work includes attention to trauma-related concerns and to problems that show up in close relationships. This includes histories of sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, and complicated grief. She also supports people dealing with codependency, commitment and communication issues, infidelity, jealousy, panic, and mood-related challenges.
Sessions move at a steady, problem-solving pace. Kelly and the person she is working with set clear goals and try concrete steps between meetings. Progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted as needed.
Her practice takes a collaborative tone: the person in therapy brings their experience, and Kelly offers tools and perspectives drawn from CBT and related approaches. People who want structured, practical work on thoughts, behaviors, and relationships may find this style fits their needs.
Practical therapy approaches for remote sessions
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of abuse and complex trauma with techniques that help manage intense reactions and build safer ways of coping.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented. Determining which approach suits a person is a collaborative process. Kelly will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use a quieter space or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on structured, skill-based change.
