Kelly Morana-Piazza, LPC, LMHC

Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. She holds two master's degrees and brings personal and professional life experience to sessions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward. She encourages clients to see their own strengths and to build on what already works.

Kelly trained in clinical mental health counseling after an earlier career as a paralegal. She completed a Master of Professional Studies in 2007 and a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling in 2013. She moved from New York City to Florida in 2014 and has about 11 years of counseling experience overall.

In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused methods. That can include client-centered conversations to understand a person’s story and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are also part of her approach when they fit a person’s goals.

Kelly works with a broad range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, career questions, ADHD, and coping with major life transitions. She aims to help clients develop skills they can use between sessions. She also draws on motivational techniques to boost commitment and momentum.

Her practice emphasizes practical steps and steady progress. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build goals that matter in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, homework, and skill practice between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
