About Kelli

Kelli Brunk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 28 years working in private practice. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and focuses on common life problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship and family concerns.

Kelli uses straightforward approaches to help people manage day-to-day difficulties. Sessions often include practical problem-solving, looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and setting small, achievable steps forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide those conversations.

Clients commonly bring concerns about sleep, parenting, self-esteem, career stress, and adjusting to major life changes. Kelli also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and losses tied to aging or cancer. She works with people who describe mood disorders, including bipolar, and with those who say childhood or adult trauma affects daily life.

Her manner is direct and practical. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns are keeping someone stuck, and what small changes could help. When relevant, she uses concrete tools and short exercises to practice between sessions.

Kelli invites people who want clear steps and hands-on strategies for managing stress and relationships. She asks clients about goals and priorities early on so therapy time is used toward measurable progress.

BHow sessions work

How Kelli Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

She commonly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT sessions break problems into clear steps and use short exercises to practice outside the session, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood changes.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals. That approach concentrates on small, achievable changes a person can try quickly and then review. It works well when someone wants fast, practical shifts in how they handle relationships, stress, or parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats she currently offers before scheduling. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins between other responsibilities. It can also make it easier to continue work from different locations, and to use brief focused sessions when a client needs a quick practical check-in.
