Kelli Brunk , LCSW

Kelli Brunk is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years in private practice. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and brings long experience helping people navigate depression, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She practices from Florida and emphasizes a calm, direct approach that aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Kelli focuses on clear, practical work. She uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and try small, doable actions between sessions. Sessions are collaborative - she and the client set goals and track progress together.

Parents and caregivers often seek her help for sleep problems, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing health-related challenges, chronic pain, and life changes such as separation or loss. Kelli addresses concerns like self-esteem, career strain, and ADHD-related challenges in straightforward terms.

Her style is conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters most and helps clients make step-by-step changes. People can expect practical tools they can use right away and short-term strategies when a focused plan is helpful.

Sessions are offered in multiple formats to fit busy lives, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Kelli asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works for them.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and reactions to stressful events by teaching concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It is useful when someone wants brief, focused progress on issues like communication, coping with life changes, or improving daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that suit the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel most like face-to-face work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or supplemental support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
