About Kelly

Kelly Bizzarro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 11 years of practice. She works with people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Kelly also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, dissociation, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She avoids heavy clinical jargon and talks in plain terms. Sessions are practical and focused on what helps in day-to-day life. She listens closely and uses a bit of levity when appropriate.

Kelly draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness alongside other evidence-based techniques. She does not force one approach on anyone and prefers to find what fits each person. Her sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings to manage urges, guilt, or difficult thoughts.

She works with a wide range of relationship and personality concerns, including communication problems, commitment difficulties, and struggles tied to alternative sex culture such as BDSM and kink. She also supports people coping after disasters and those managing co-occurring conditions.

Sessions are conducted through telehealth, allowing people to connect from their own surroundings. Language offered is English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Kelly commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in sessions. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful responses. This approach can help with guilt-driven thinking, addictive urges, and low mood.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice and tolerate uncomfortable feelings without getting swept away. Mindfulness skills are useful for managing shame, reducing reactivity after relationship conflict, and calming distress tied to trauma memories.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She starts by listening to what matters to the client and then suggests techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time based on goals and preferences.

The biography indicates she works by telehealth. Confirm which specific session formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can be squeezed into breaks or between responsibilities.
