About Kellie

Kellie Kizis is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience providing counseling and social work services. She has supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, caregiving stress, medical and body-wellness concerns, and a range of life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in hospitals, hospice, and a fitness center, which informs a practical understanding of health-related issues alongside emotional care. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing partnership in identifying goals and creating workable plans.

Kellie integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness along with solution-focused and trauma-informed methods, tailoring interventions to each person's needs. She also draws on holistic practices that resonate with some clients.

Kellie lists ADHD among her areas of focus and offers coaching-oriented support alongside psychotherapy for attention-related challenges and daily functioning. She welcomes clients who seek a collaborative, strengths-based approach and who want to develop skills for coping, self-care, and better overall functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect online



Kellie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, low mood, or functional difficulties, then works with them to build practical skills and coping strategies. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness practices that can reduce rumination, improve emotional regulation, and support grounding after trauma or during high stress. Both approaches translate well to virtual work and focus on concrete tools clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kellie partners with clients to clarify goals, assess needs, and adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective. She tailors techniques to each person's preferences, drawing from client-centered, solution-focused, or trauma-informed methods as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it simpler to fit consistent support into daily life while maintaining the therapeutic structure needed to practice new skills and track progress.
