About Kettia
Kettia Duperval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and related concerns. She also addresses issues like addictions, relationship and family stress, grief, and challenges with sleep or eating.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She adapts conversation and plans to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments. She speaks English and Haitian Creole, which can help when language matters in getting a point across.
In practice she helps people name what’s causing strain and try manageable changes. That can include talking through reactions, sorting priorities, and building simple coping skills. She also supports people dealing with career pressure, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Kettia has worked with issues tied to identity and life transitions, including adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. She has experience with more intense mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, paranoia, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Her approach is flexible and evidence-informed. She will work with each person to shape goals and steps that fit their life. To begin, users follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building concrete skills. One common approach teaches people to notice thinking and behavior patterns, then try small behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and overwhelm. That approach can help with anger, anxiety, panic, and low mood by testing new responses in everyday situations.Another useful technique centers on processing past events so they cause less emotional disruption now. This work helps people who carry trauma, repeated hurts, or grief and want fewer automatic reactions. It usually combines paced conversation, grounding strategies, and planning for manageable next steps.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest an approach. That plan can change as progress is made or needs shift, and the client helps guide adjustments along the way.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life.
