Kelly Dambra

Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings nine years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship pain. Kelly writes in a warm, interactive way and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her. That means listening first, then working together to set clear, realistic goals. Kelly draws on client-centered approaches and other methods to match what each person needs. Her style aims to build on existing strengths and increase coping skills.

Kelly has supported people who have experienced trauma, sexual assault, emotional abuse, and domestic violence. She also helps with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting pressures, workplace problems, and mood disorders. When anger shows up, she helps identify triggers and develop healthier responses.

Expect sessions to be collaborative and direct. Kelly uses straightforward conversations and practical tools rather than long explanations. She encourages small changes that add up over time and tracks progress together.

Her practice seeks to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly. Kelly invites clients to bring their goals, frustrations, and doubts so they can problem-solve together. To begin, she recommends a short intake to match goals with the right plan.

How key therapy approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive listener and a collaborative plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and anger by teaching specific skills to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Ask which appointment formats are available and how scheduling works. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, and help people keep consistent momentum between sessions.
