About Kelly

Kelly Morana-Piazza meets people who are worn out by stress, anxiety, ups and downs with mood, or struggles with addiction and self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients sort priorities and find small steps that fit into busy lives. Kelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) working in Florida. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to her sessions.

Kelly trained in clinical mental health counseling after earlier work as a paralegal, and she holds two master's degrees from St. John's University. That background shaped how she thinks about practical solutions and clear planning. She focuses on everyday problems such as anger, motivation, coping with life changes, and relationship or family stress.

Sessions aim to surface strengths first and build from there. Kelly uses straightforward tools to help people feel more in control of their mood, habits, and choices. She also helps clients address concerns like grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of the toolkit when they fit a client's goals. Kelly prefers short, doable goals so progress is visible between sessions.

If you need a counselor who values clear steps and steady support, Kelly offers a practical style that centers the client's own story and resources. She aims to make therapy a manageable part of a hectic week.

Step 3

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on what each person already does well, which helps set goals that make sense in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into manageable parts and uses small behavioral experiments and thought work to change patterns, which often fits work done between online sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress, anxiety, and mood ups and downs.

Finding the right therapy style is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and circumstances change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice techniques between meetings in their real-life routines. Licensed professionals can help arrange a pattern of sessions that fits work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
