About Kelli

Kelli Brunk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 28 years in private practice. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and lists work with depression, stress and anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and abuse among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Kelli draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping skills. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what can shift in daily life.

Her background includes long experience across settings, including work with older adults and people with disabilities. That history shapes a practical approach to problems like chronic illness, caregiver stress, and adjustment after major life changes.

Kelli also addresses relationship concerns, communication and commitment issues, and parenting stress. She can work with worry, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and overlapping conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Additional topics she lists include abandonment, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and recovery after domestic violence.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to start are invited to use the platform’s matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first session and describe their immediate concerns. Kelli’s long clinical experience informs a pragmatic focus on skills, small experiments, and clearer choices.

How Kelli applies evidence-based approaches online

Kelli commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small changes in behavior. CBT often suits problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and patterns that keep guilt or shame active.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a brief strategy that highlights strengths and practical next steps. That approach is useful when someone wants clear, short-term goals and concrete changes to daily routines.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kelli will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation, and she will adjust methods as the work progresses. The conversation includes checking what feels useful and what needs to change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it easier to schedule around work and caregiving. If you need a quieter setting, lower-bandwidth options, or a brief focused session, discuss those preferences when you schedule to see what can be arranged.
