Kelly Dambra , LMHC

Kelly Dambra is a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience working with people facing depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, and complex trauma. She has supported many individuals who have experienced sexual or emotional abuse, helping them make sense of their experiences and find practical ways to move forward.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and strength-focused. Kelly emphasizes collaboration, partnering with each person to identify goals and build on existing resources so lasting changes are possible. She adapts therapeutic methods to fit the unique needs of each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Kelly draws on a mix of evidence-informed techniques while maintaining a non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can develop insight and address current challenges. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she combines professional training with a personable, relational approach. She is committed to guiding people through difficult transitions and looks forward to supporting clients as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelly often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship so clients feel heard and empowered to set their own goals; this approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing behaviors.

When trauma is part of the story, trauma-focused techniques are used to gently address painful memories and their ongoing effects, with attention to safety and pacing. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Kelly will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow clients to engage in therapy in the ways that feel most manageable for them.
