About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. She brings a calm, practical style and encourages clients to draw on their own strengths. Kelly aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and direct.
She trained in clinical mental health counseling and holds the LPC and LMHC credentials. Before counseling, she worked as a paralegal, and that background shaped how she listens for practical details people miss.
Background and approach
Kelly moved from New York City to Florida in 2014 and has more than a decade of clinical experience. Kelly uses person-centered conversations to help people name what matters to them. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop clearer routines.
Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce overwhelm and improve focus during stressful moments. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck, and solution-focused methods to build simple, doable steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward - identify a goal, try a small change, and check what helps.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people develop skills they can use between sessions. Kelly frames therapy as a process where the client leads and she provides guidance and structure.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kelly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify goals and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, while CBT provides clear tools for tackling anxiety, low mood, and attention challenges.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach present-moment skills that reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Mindfulness exercises can be brief and practical, which makes them easy to try during a video or phone session and practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She helps set small, testable steps and adjusts strategies based on what is working.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth situations, and live chat or text messaging support quick questions and ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
