About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She focuses on common household and personal struggles like stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, and parenting challenges. Kelly speaks English and works from a background that includes time in New York and Florida.
Kelly trained at St. John's University where she earned two master’s degrees, including a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling. Before counseling, she worked as a paralegal, and she draws on that earlier work and life experience in sessions. Her practice is practical and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert in their own story.
Her approach uses methods that help people change thinking and behavior, build motivation, and practice mindful attention to daily life. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and short-term goals alongside space to talk things through. Clients may work on managing mood, building confidence, addressing substance use concerns, or coping with big life transitions.
Kelly encourages taking small, concrete steps at home between sessions. She listens for strengths and helps people apply them to problems at work and with relationships. Beginning therapy is framed as a practical effort to reduce stress and make everyday life more manageable.
To start, she asks people to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood changes, and some addiction-related patterns. She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice stress and respond with more calm attention rather than reacting instantly. Mindfulness practice can help with anger, anxiety, and day-to-day stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation usually happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family life and work. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule a session during a break in the day. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people build skills they can use between sessions and at home.
