About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. Kelly also supports work on intimacy, parenting, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life transitions.
Counseling sessions are straightforward and practical. Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She aims to help people spot patterns, test small changes, and build more effective habits over time.
Before becoming a counselor she worked as a paralegal and holds two master’s degrees from St. John’s University, including a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling. That background informs a clear, organized style in sessions and familiarity with life changes like relocation and career shifts.
Kelly tends to focus on concrete steps rather than long theoretical talks. Sessions often include check-ins on mood and behavior, practicing coping skills, and short between-session assignments to try new strategies. She treats the person’s experience as the central guide for selecting which techniques to use.
She offers care in English and practices in Florida. She does not take international clients. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might proceed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT focuses on specific problems and practical exercises, which can be worked on in short, structured sessions.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and reflecting what the person says to clarify goals. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to practice paying attention to thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them. These methods suit stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and habit-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily schedule. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helping.
