About Kelly
Kelly Morana-Piazza is a licensed counselor based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses a down-to-earth style that focuses on practical steps and personal strengths. Kelly aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone reaching out for support.
She earned two master’s degrees from St. John's University: a Master of Professional Studies and a Master of Science in Education in clinical mental health counseling.
Background and approach
Kelly worked as a paralegal before changing careers, and that life experience shaped the way she listens and problem-solves. She has practiced as a mental health counselor for 11 years. In sessions she centers the person’s own story and goals.
She encourages clients to recognize strengths and build small, realistic habits. That approach can help with coping after loss, finding motivation, and improving daily routines. Kelly uses a mix of well-known strategies, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices.
She also draws on client-centered conversation and solution-focused planning to tailor work to each person. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports change when someone is unsure about next steps. People meet with her by phone, video, chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people in Florida.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Kelly often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady habits for daily stress.She also works from a client-centered stance, which means the person’s goals and experiences guide the work. Deciding which tools to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what is working and adjust approaches together so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging offers flexible, quick touchpoints for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, school, or caregiving obligations.
