About Kellie
Kellie Kizis is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 15 years of practice experience. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. She also works with individuals coping with medical issues, body image worries, and challenges like anger or burnout.
Her background includes hospital and hospice work and time in a fitness center, which shaped her practical understanding of medical and wellness concerns. Those settings exposed her to grief, chronic illness, and caregiver stress, and she brings that experience into sessions.
Background and approach
Kellie uses a warm and interactive style. She is nonjudgmental and aims to partner with each person to problem-solve. Sessions are collaborative and focused on realistic steps clients can try between meetings.
She draws from client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and build calm. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-focused ideas help set clear, achievable goals for change.
Kellie also incorporates trauma-focused work when past hurts get in the way of current life. She blends approaches to match the person’s needs rather than following a single plan. Clients who want practical strategies for stress, anger, or life transitions often find this flexible approach useful.
People can expect clear conversation, homework when helpful, and attention to both emotional and practical needs. Kellie aims to support, empower, and celebrate progress along the way.

How Kellie brings practical approaches to online therapy
Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals at the center of sessions and emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborative planning. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard and to shape their own path forward.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and changing routines that get in the way of daily life.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques can support stress management and help with emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kellie will discuss these methods with each person and tailor the plan to their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to keep the process collaborative so techniques fit the client’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a written conversation feels easier. These options make it simpler to continue consistent care across different schedules and life demands.
