More about Kellie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with over 15 years experience working as a social worker and counselor . I have worked with clients, as well as some of their families, with a wide range of needs including depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, cancer diagnoses, and Lack of self love. I have also helped many people with grief and loss concerns, as well as those who have experienced trauma. I also am knowledgeable on medical concerns as well as body wellness due to working in the hospital, for hospice, and in a fitness center. I also participate in some holistic practices such as essential oils and am a Reiki Master.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and non judgmental. I believe that when someone is in need of help, I want to partner with them to problem solve, and develop the most appropriate plan of action, and have the best outcome possible. My approach is based on your needs and can range from mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioral, solution focused, holistic, or trauma focused to name a few.
I look forward to being on the journey with you to support, empower, and celebrate you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
