Kelli Estrada, LCSW

Kelli Estrada is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with three years of professional clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for common life struggles. Her style is direct, warm, and nonjudgmental. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

Before moving into formal clinical practice, she worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ related issues and with people facing family conflict. That earlier work shaped how she listens and responds now. Kelli also supports people dealing with parenting stress, depression, domestic violence histories, and young adult concerns.

In sessions she builds an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She describes herself as poly friendly and attends to relationship styles openly. Kelli uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies. That mix allows her to match what she offers to different problems, from mood and coping to communication difficulties. She explains ideas in plain language and sets small, achievable steps.

People who choose Kelli often want a therapist who listens carefully and then helps make a plan. She encourages small changes that add up. Kelli invites people to start the process and move at a pace that feels right for them.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical strategies for mood and behavior. These approaches work well for depression, coping with life changes, relationship communication, and parenting stress.

Kelli will work with each person to find the right mix of techniques. Figuring out what fits is a collaborative process that considers your needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts the approach over time so sessions remain relevant and achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging give flexibility for brief conversations and ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep work moving forward without long gaps.
