Kelly Morana-Piazza

Kelly Morana-Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on practical concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, and career-related stress. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people take manageable steps forward.

Kelly's path into counseling began after work as a paralegal and two master’s degrees from St. John's University: 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 brings about 11 years of professional experience to her work.

In sessions she treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She helps people with practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving motivation, addressing substance concerns, and building confidence. Conversations are straightforward, focused on real problems, and aimed at actionable next steps.

Kelly blends approaches that match each person's needs. She commonly uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the client, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and motivational strategies to boost readiness for change. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are used when they fit the goal.

Clients who start therapy with Kelly will find a clinician who values collaboration, clear guidance, and gradual progress. She encourages small changes that add up and supports clients as they practice new skills between sessions.

How Kelly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood while they decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to improve mood and reduce anxiety. It works well for stress, anxiety, low mood, and many practical problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to find what fits their needs and preferences. She adjusts methods based on goals, whether someone wants short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, switch to a phone check-in when bandwidth is limited, or use shorter sessions to match a break at work. Ask about format choices when you schedule to pick the best fit for your routine and goals.
