About Kelli

Kelli Brunk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 28 years in private practice. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and family issues.

Kelli draws on long experience helping people handle difficult life events and relationship strain. She listens for practical problems and helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions. Parents and adults worried about family conflict, parenting stress, sleep disruption, or career pressure are within her stated scope of work.

Her approach emphasizes clear, short-term strategies alongside exploring what led to a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and try different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy supports setting concrete goals and testing changes that can be implemented right away.

Kelli’s bilingual skills mean she can talk through concerns in English or Spanish. She has worked across care settings and with older adults and people with disability in earlier roles, and she brings that background into current sessions when relevant to a person’s situation.

If you are coping with loss, domestic violence impacts, or complex stressors like chronic illness or caregiving, she lists those among her focus areas. The first meetings tend to clarify what matters most to you and to plan a few practical steps to reduce distress.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by breaking down problems into manageable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and trying small changes quickly to see what helps most in day-to-day life. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will decide whether CBT techniques, solution-focused tasks, or a mix of both fits your situation best. Confirm the current session formats before you book since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone attend from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between sessions.
