About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Kelly speaks English and brings practical, everyday skills to conversations about coping and change.
Kelly studied at St. John's University and holds two master's degrees: 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 often references that real-world experience when discussing clients' practical problems.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and active listening. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior patterns.
Kelly also uses mindfulness practices and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, useful steps toward goals. Motivational Interviewing appears when people need help strengthening their own reasons to change. These methods are used to address issues like anger, addiction, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
In sessions she aims to recognize the client as the expert in their own life and to highlight existing strengths. Her style emphasizes concrete tools and short-term strategies as well as longer work when needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online sign-up flow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which involves following the client's lead and building on their strengths through reflective listening.Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she draws on to help people notice physical sensations and urges without immediately acting on them. That can be useful for managing impulse-driven reactions or chronic stress. Kelly and the client decide together which approaches to emphasize based on the person's goals and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Findings the best fit is part of the therapy process; the therapist will work collaboratively to adjust techniques as needs and preferences become clearer. This collaborative approach helps keep sessions practical and relevant to daily life.
