About Kettia

Kettia Duperval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Her style is direct and respectful, aimed at making a difficult first step feel manageable.

She listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's situation. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what can change now. Kettia offers support through difficult moments like grief, family conflict, or shifts in work and parenting roles.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about coping skills, problem solving, and ways to reduce daily overwhelm. She also addresses issues such as addiction, anger, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD-related struggles. Kettia brings a calm presence and consistent focus to each session.

Her background includes many years working with people facing trauma, caregiving stress, and career strain. She tailors interventions to each person's needs and pace, and she prioritizes safety and steady progress. Conversations may include practical tools, reflective questions, and small experiments to try between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Kettia encourages people to take the first step by choosing a format that suits their life and to begin a short intake to match goals and scheduling.

How Kettia translates proven approaches to online care

Evidence-based techniques often focus on clear, teachable skills. One common method is skills training that teaches people tools for managing anxiety, anger, or mood swings. These tools can include breathing exercises, activity planning, and step-by-step ways to break problems into smaller parts. Another approach is trauma-informed care which helps people process difficult events at a comfortable pace and build safety and coping strategies for daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kettia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what is working.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between other responsibilities. Depending on the format offered, sessions can focus on brief skill coaching, longer therapy work, or follow-up check-ins that keep progress on track.
