About Kelly

Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed professional counselor and mental health counselor based in Florida. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Kelly aims to make first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure about starting therapy.

She believes clients know their stories best and brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions. Her background includes two master’s degrees from St. John's University - a Master of Professional Studies and a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling. Before counseling, she worked as a paralegal, and she draws on that life experience when helping people solve everyday problems.

Over more than a decade in the field, Kelly has worked with people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, and substance-related concerns in a straightforward way.

Her style is grounded in clear communication and teamwork. She uses approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are meant to help people build skills, try small changes, and notice what helps most in their daily life.

Kelly practices in Florida and carries the credentials LPC and LMHC. She encourages anyone taking the first step toward help to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to see if her approach fits their needs.

How Kelly's approaches fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so people feel understood and can set their own goals. This helps when someone is looking for support through stressful life changes or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing urges related to addictions by breaking concerns into small, testable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to help reduce reactivity and improve focus. It pairs well with other techniques when someone wants tools to manage stress or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session options should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk to the therapist during the matching step to learn which session formats and scheduling options are offered and what might work best for your situation.
