Kellie Jondro , LICSW, LCSW

Kellie Jondro is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She brings a calm, practical approach to sessions and focuses on building everyday coping skills that can make a difference right away.

She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, doable steps that move people toward clearer goals. Sessions are grounded and conversational; she listens, reflects, and offers straightforward tools clients can try between meetings. The emphasis is on what works next, not on digging endlessly into the past.

Kellie has 26 years of experience as a mental health professional and holds a Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida. Her work history includes roles as an individual and family therapist, crisis counselor, home health therapist, dialysis clinic social worker, respite foster care parent, and substitute teacher with special needs students. Those roles shaped a practical, client-centered style.

She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, loneliness, questions about life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, workplace problems, and women’s issues. Her background makes her comfortable addressing everyday struggles alongside longer-term concerns.

Kellie lives in Florida and draws energy from outdoor activities, camping, and live music. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people find realistic steps that fit their daily life.

Approaches and online care that focus on next steps

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical solutions and small changes clients can try right away. It works well for stress, anxiety, life transitions, caregiver strain, and workplace problems because the focus is on what moves you forward rather than long explorations of the past.

Sessions using this approach are goal-oriented and short-term focused. The therapist helps clients name a preferred outcome, spot existing strengths, and set manageable steps to reach that outcome. This method is useful when someone wants clear tools and measurable progress in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed in an ongoing, collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These formats make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, or health constraints.
