Kelly Bujnicki, LCSW

Kelly Bujnicki is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of practice. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and who are struggling with relationship or family tensions. She also supports parents working through parenting challenges and those coping with low self-esteem.

Kelly takes a straightforward, person-first approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clear ways to measure small progress.

Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps change unhelpful thoughts and habits, with client-centered work that prioritizes what matters to the individual. Together these approaches aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Over her career she has also worked with caregiver stress, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, finding life purpose, social anxiety, and workplace difficulties. That range means she often helps people bring focus to specific problems and test realistic changes.

Kelly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Kelly adapts CBT and Client-Centered work online

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed stress and anxiety. In simple exercises clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and track results between sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's goals lead the work. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions rather than following a fixed script.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk through goals, preferences, and practical needs with each person and then tailor techniques that fit their situation. Together they decide whether CBT exercises, client-centered conversation, or a mix of both will be most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for convenience and flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for quick check-ins and shorter updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently over time.
