Kelly Dambra, LMHC

Kelly Dambra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem struggles. She has worked with survivors of sexual and emotional abuse and assists clients facing domestic violence, grief, addiction, and a range of mood and stress-related concerns.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and strengths-focused. Kelly builds on each client’s existing resources and works collaboratively to identify practical steps toward change. She emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental rapport that helps clients develop insight and address the issues that matter most to them.

Kelly uses a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual goals and needs, drawing on methods that fit the client rather than applying a single formula. She aims to empower clients to navigate life transitions, improve relationships, and manage symptoms like panic, low mood, or problems with intimacy and communication.

As a practitioner who values partnership and practical progress, Kelly guides clients through a process of shared decision-making and skill-building. She is committed to helping people create meaningful, lasting change and welcomes those ready to begin that work in a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work - it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the emotional impact of life changes. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved and supported in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, manage ongoing symptoms between sessions, and access care from home or other convenient locations. For many clients, remote sessions provide a practical, consistent way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
