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 strain, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life stressors. Kelly also lists work with codependency, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues among her focus areas.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. She listens first, then uses approaches that fit a person's goals. Kelly draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools when a person wants concrete steps to change thinking and behavior.
In practice she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. That can mean addressing people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or repeated relationship problems. She also supports those recovering from sexual or emotional abuse and from domestic violence, helping them build clearer boundaries and safer choices.
Kelly favors short-term strategies when someone needs relief fast and longer work when issues run deep. She encourages small experiments between sessions so people can test new ways of handling stress and conflict. Her aim is to help people gain more control over daily reactions and choices.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kelly works with the feelings and situations people bring, and she helps translate insights into steps they can try between appointments. Her practice is based in Florida and she provides services in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions can use that same conversational stance to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; that structure adapts well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize client-centered support, CBT strategies, or solution-focused steps, and they can shift as needs change.
The practical benefits of online work should be confirmed with the provider because session formats were not specified in the biography. Ask which formats are offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins or shorter meetings when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same clinical tools remotely, helping people practice new responses and track progress between appointments.
