Kelly Dambra

Kelly Dambra is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She uses a warm, interactive style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Kelly aims to create a safe-feeling space where clients can talk honestly and start making practical changes.

Kelly draws on client-centered techniques that begin with listening closely to each person's experience. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small steps that lead toward clearer goals.

Her background includes nearly nine years of clinical work supporting people after trauma and abuse, including sexual and emotional abuse. She also assists people facing addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, workplace stress, and burnout from compassion fatigue. Coping with life changes is a focus that often comes up in her work.

Sessions are collaborative. Kelly helps clients notice strengths, set realistic goals, and practice concrete skills between visits. She tends to keep interventions practical and geared toward day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.

People who choose Kelly often want a therapist who listens, offers clear techniques, and works at a steady, respectful pace. Her approach centers on partnership and steady progress, with attention to both past harms and present coping needs.

How Kelly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. It’s useful when someone needs space to process feelings and clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and tests practical behavior changes. CBT often includes short exercises and between-session practice to build new habits and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. She helps set clear, achievable steps and revisits the plan as progress is made.
