About Kelly
Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and anger among other concerns. She sees issues related to self-esteem, grief, addictions, intimacy, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Kelly favors a collaborative, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the person and building on existing strengths. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to help clients notice patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes significant work with survivors of sexual and emotional abuse and people impacted by domestic violence. That experience informs how she approaches trauma-focused therapy and longer-term mood challenges. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, and workplace stress.
In a typical session Kelly talks through current problems, identifies small changes to try between meetings, and checks what worked. She mixes structured techniques with open conversation, aiming for noticeable, manageable steps rather than big theoretical shifts.
People who come for help with anger learn concrete strategies to tolerate strong feelings, communicate boundaries, and repair relationships after heated moments. Kelly also supports those dealing with another person’s anger and the strain that creates.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Kelly practices in Florida and holds the FL LMHC credential.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel understood and can make their own decisions. It helps people sort through feelings and priorities when anger or relationship stress feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and managing strong reactions like anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based work with CBT tools or brief solution-focused strategies to get quick relief while addressing deeper concerns.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, keep appointments during work breaks, or choose a shorter check-in when energy is limited. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversational and structured techniques over distance to help people practice new skills and track what changes between sessions.
