Kelly Dambra, LMHC

Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience to help people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her tone is warm and approachable and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas to tailor sessions to each person. That means sessions often include clear goals, skill practice, and attention to what feels most useful day to day. Kelly also brings trauma-focused approaches when past hurt is part of the problem, and she adapts methods to each situation.

Kelly works with people facing a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and workplace stress. Additional areas she addresses include codependency, communication problems, infidelity, panic attacks, and recovery from sexual assault or domestic violence. She helps people sort priorities, calm intense feelings, and rebuild trust in themselves.

Her style is collaborative and interactive. She builds on a person’s existing strengths, sets realistic goals together, and practices new skills in session. Conversations are direct but supportive, with an eye toward steps that make everyday life easier.

To begin, Kelly asks people to identify a few clear goals and then maps out short-term strategies and longer-term steps. She emphasizes steady progress and practical tools that can be used between sessions.

How Kelly’s approaches work online

Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or panic. CBT sessions typically include goal setting, skill practice, and exercises to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work and focuses on listening without judgment, helping people feel heard while they decide what changes to make.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging which makes scheduling more flexible. Video allows face-to-face-style conversation and skill coaching, phone can work when video is not possible, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
