About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
Kelly holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings 11 years of professional experience to her work in Florida. Her style centers on listening and building on what already works in a person’s life.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She treats each person as the expert on their experience while offering tools to reduce distress and increase confidence. Kelly trained in clinical mental health counseling and earlier earned a master’s in professional studies.
Before counseling she worked as a paralegal, which informs her practical approach to problem solving. She moved to Florida in 2014 and draws on both life experience and formal education in sessions. Therapy with Kelly often mixes brief, action-focused techniques with mindfulness and motivational strategies.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that maintain problems. The focus is on small, realistic changes that add up over time. People who want straightforward guidance and tools that fit daily life may find this approach useful.
Kelly helps clients set clear targets, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress toward their goals.
How Kelly’s Approaches Work Online
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and offers simple, practical exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.She also uses motivational interviewing when people need help finding their reasons to change. That approach is conversational and nonjudgmental, aimed at building motivation and confidence for steps people already want to take. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the first conversations; the client and therapist decide together what fits the person’s goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and use tools in real life as situations arise. Many people appreciate the flexibility of meeting from home or work while still working with a licensed professional to make steady progress.
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.
