About Kelli
Kelli Dumas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and New Jersey with 22 years of practice experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career or life transitions.
She has worked with first responders, military and medical professionals, and people facing substance use and trauma-related challenges. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on naming what is happening day to day. Kelli treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths to address what gets in the way.
Her style is straightforward and problem-focused. Conversations often include reviewing current patterns, clarifying goals, and trying concrete strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. She helps people manage strong emotions and teaches ways to cope when stress or old hurts resurface.
Over two decades she has helped clients with relationship strain, family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, commitment questions, and midlife changes. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, forgiveness work, and life purpose concerns.
People meet her when they need practical tools and steady support for real-life problems. She accepts international clients and conducts work from her Florida location. To begin, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled initial session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and build skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past events affect current reactions and introduce pacing and coping tools for when distress arises.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, review what has and has not helped before, and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are normal; treatment is shaped over a few sessions based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available online or remote options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into workdays, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. If you need a particular setup because of schedule, bandwidth, or camera preferences, raise that when you complete the matching questionnaire so session logistics can be arranged.
