About Kettia

Kettia Duperval is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 13 years of experience to family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship or family difficulties. She uses a respectful and compassionate style and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can try between sessions.

Kettia speaks English and Haitian Creole and practices in Florida where she holds the LCSW credential. In sessions she listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to the family situation and to the issues listed, such as parenting challenges, grief, addiction, or managing intense emotions. She pays attention to what is realistic for a busy household and suggests small changes that build over time. Kettia draws on evidence-based techniques to address things like panic, trauma responses, and mood disturbances.

She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, or life transitions. Her approach balances emotional support with concrete skills for coping and communication. Therapy with her can include talking through painful memories, learning tools to reduce anxiety, and practicing new ways to handle conflicts at home.

She aims to make sessions collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client and their family. Parents and caregivers who prefer services in English or Haitian Creole will find an option for care in Florida. Kettia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a step-by-step plan toward better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

Evidence-based approaches can make online therapy practical and useful. One common method focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic by teaching breath work, grounding exercises, and stepwise exposures to feared situations. This helps people reduce intense physical reactions and feel more in control day to day.

Another helpful approach addresses trauma and stress responses by creating a safe way to tell difficult stories and by building coping strategies. That work can reduce avoidance and improve sleep, mood, and family interactions. A third approach emphasizes communication and problem-solving skills to lower conflict and improve parenting routines, which often leads to clearer expectations and less daily friction.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits your needs and preferences. Together you will shape a plan that matches your family life and what you hope to change.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy households. You can meet by video or phone, and use live chat or text-based messaging when that fits better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other commitments while still getting regular support from a licensed professional.
