About Keli

Keli Karbowski is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or grief. Her work also covers challenges such as addiction, mood disorders, and parenting concerns.

She speaks English and conducts sessions online using video, phone, chat, or text. Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first and helps clients set clear, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Keli uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and make small, lasting changes. She also draws on mindfulness to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. Keli often applies motivational interviewing when people want to change behaviors around substance use or other habits.

She brings solution-focused skills to brief goal work, helping people identify what’s already working and build on it. Across methods she keeps things straightforward and doable for busy lives. Clients who reach out can expect a calm, steady presence and direct tools to handle strong emotions like anger, shame, or panic.

She has experience assisting those dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and complicated grief. Treatment plans are shaped around each person’s needs and paced to match readiness for change. If someone wants to begin, the process starts by selecting Start Therapy and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Online approaches that meet people where they are

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens closely and adjusts pacing and goals to match the client’s needs, making it useful for stress, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems by breaking issues into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keli collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the plan as changes occur, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different comfort levels and schedules. These formats make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy into busy days, and use short check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same core techniques as in-person work while making therapy more accessible for people living in Florida and juggling many responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
