About Kelli
Kelli Brunk is a bilingual clinician who practices in Florida and brings 28 years of independent practice experience to her work. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and offers therapy in both English and Spanish. Her sessions focus on practical steps that parents and families can use to manage stress and solve everyday problems.
She helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She also addresses sleep difficulties, relationship and communication problems, and life changes like divorce or caregiving demands. Kelli listens first, then works with each person to find clear, achievable ways to move forward. Her approach uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods.
Kelli often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that get in the way, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, effective changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and concrete, with practical tools to use between meetings. At intake she creates space for clients to describe what matters most to them.
From there she and the client set short-term steps and review progress. The combination of careful listening and focused techniques helps people regain routine and a sense of control. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Kelli works in Florida and is not taking international clients.
Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work
Kelli commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on clear goals and small, concrete changes that move a family or parent toward better daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kelli listens to the client first, then recommends which method or combination to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan can be adjusted together as needed.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. These options allow for flexible timing, quicker check-ins between meetings, and ongoing support when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication style to each format so work continues effectively across sessions.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
