Kelly Morana-Piazza, LPC, LMHC

Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses a direct, practical style and focuses on everyday coping skills that people can use between sessions. Kelly holds LPC and LMHC credentials and works from Florida.

Kelly has a background that includes two master's degrees from St. John's University and prior work as a paralegal in New York City. That earlier career change led her into mental health work in her late twenties. She brings that life experience into sessions to help people sort through career shifts, parenting strain, grief, and major life changes.

Her approach centers on meeting people where they are. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. She often uses client-centered techniques to build on a person’s strengths and CBT methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear in her work when people want tools for calm and fast practical change. Motivational interviewing supports clients who are facing addictions or struggling to find motivation.

Across topics like trauma, intimacy issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress, she aims to make sessions useful and straightforward. Kelly emphasizes small, doable steps so progress feels manageable. The goal is to help people feel more capable in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them build on their own strengths, which is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear steps and skills practice. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss styles and recommend what to try first based on goals and preferences. She collaborates with each person to adjust techniques so sessions feel relevant and practical.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that fit into a busy day. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings.
