About Kelly

Kelly Dambra is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who centers her work on evidence-informed therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy while blending client-centered and solution-focused methods.

Background and approach

She draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Kelly emphasizes practical skills and collaborative problem solving to reduce symptoms and promote healthier daily functioning.

Her style is warm, interactive, and strength-based, aiming to build on what clients already do well while addressing obstacles like codependency, communication problems, grief, and addictions. Kelly also has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, panic and mood disorders, workplace issues, and challenges related to LGBT identity.

She frames therapy as a partnership and adapts modalities to fit each person’s goals and preferences, encouraging insight alongside tangible strategies for coping and change.

Online therapy with evidence-informed approaches

Kelly often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, mood symptoms, and stress. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's perspective, offering empathy and support to build insight and personal agency. These approaches can be helpful for trauma-related issues, relationship concerns, and daily coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions as therapy progresses so that techniques remain relevant and useful for the client’s circumstances.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to attend regularly and maintain momentum between appointments while accessing licensed professionals from anywhere in Florida.
