Kelli Brunk

Kelli Brunk is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years in private practice. She speaks English and Spanish and has decades of broader clinical experience before her private practice years. Kelli focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life shifts.

Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people name what feels hardest and then looks for small, useful steps forward. Sessions often include talking through recent events, testing strategies for coping, and adjusting plans as needed.

Kelli draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical steps and goals. She uses these methods to help with sleep problems, relationship and communication struggles, parenting strain, and challenges related to illness or caregiving.

People also come to her for support with trauma, abuse, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and the emotional fallout from separation or loss. She works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Kelli emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She practices in Florida and communicates in both English and Spanish. If you are considering therapy to cope with life changes or other stressors, she guides the first steps and helps shape a plan that fits everyday life.

How her methods translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try specific changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and small steps that move someone toward what they want to change, which can be useful for coping with life transitions and concrete problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a client's schedule. It can also support continuity of care during life changes. Ask about available session types so you can pick what works best for your routine and goals.
