About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a Florida-licensed counselor who works with people seeking practical strategies for stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues.
Background and approach
She brings 11 years of professional experience and a background that includes two master's degrees - one in professional studies (MPS) and one in clinical mental health counseling (MSEd) - which inform a pragmatic, strengths-based approach to therapy.
Her style blends evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools to help clients set goals and build skills. Kelly emphasizes collaboration and respects each person as the expert on their own life while offering structure and concrete skills to address symptoms and real-world problems.
She previously worked as a paralegal and relocated from New York City to Florida in 2014, experiences she says contribute to a grounded perspective on career and life transitions. Kelly encourages taking the first step toward support and offers flexible online options, helping clients access therapy that fits their schedules and needs.
How Kelly’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and supporting clients as they explore their own goals and values.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-management skills. Mindfulness techniques can complement cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments by improving emotional regulation and attention. Together these approaches provide both practical tools and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly collaborates with each person to tailor the plan to their needs, goals, and preferences. In online work she discusses options and adjusts techniques so they fit the format and the client’s day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule regular appointments and practice skills between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments while still receiving structured, licensed professional support.
