Hi! My name is Kelly and I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 7 years of experience. I serve clients with a wide range of needs, including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, domestic violence and complex trauma. I also helped many people who have experienced sexual or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. By building on your current strengths, I want to help empower you to overcome the obstacles that you face in life. My approach is based on forming a collaborative relationship with each client and working together to make lasting changes. In therapy, I utilize different therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual client and their therapeutic goals. I believe in creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients can build insight and address current challenges. I look forward to exploring this journey with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Attentive and so helpful! She guides you to your own best self. Always very real with me, which I appreciate. Also very accommodating to changing schedules
Kelly has changed my life. She has helped me learn to love myself. It is a long process and journey but I am great full to have her help me guide my way.
Kelly is kind and happy. This starts things out on a very positive note. She can listen well. She will always look at things a little different than I do. This makes me sure that I am not missing something in my logic. She does inspire, redirect or affirm the life issues. Great job, Kelly
Kelly has been supportive and easy to talk to during my time spent on BetterHelp. After each session I feel like an emotional weight has been lifted and leaves me looking forward to the next one. Kelly has created a safe space for me on BetterHelp and I know I can always confide in her for emotional support and a helpful outside perspective!
She has helped me really get to the deeper root of my problems and reframe things so that I can really work on them, without judgement or guilt. I credit her for so much of my growth in the past year.
Kelly has changed my life. She has helped me over come a lot of challenges in my life. She is extremely supportive and always there for me.
Kelly has been so amazing to me overall. She is so caring and makes sure to check up on me knowing I have a busy schedule. You can feel she genuinely cares for her clients and has peaceful energy all around. She makes me feel comfortable and open up about things I don't talk about or open up to anyone. Thank you!!! <33
Kelly is a great counselor. She helped me to work through a variety of things and we have come a long way together. She is friendly but firm and questioning my dysfunctional thought patterns. I’m very grateful that I get the chance to work with her.
I was hesitant about counseling at first, but Kelly has completely changed my perspective. She is kind, compassionate, empathetic, and always willing to actively listen and help me change my thought process. I highly recommend her!!
I have struggled with anxiety for years and working with Kelly is helping me to better manage it and it is not so debilitating as it used to to be.
Kelly is very knowledgeable, attentive, genuine, and easy to talk to. She is very relatable and always has insightful input. I definitely recommend using her services.
Amazing experience, I do not feel pressure, I feel understood and like I can count on her support. Tremendously helpful!
I’ve been working with Kelly from the start for 3 months and my favorite thing about her is she always checks in. With a standard in office therapist visit you would have your running weekly meeting but with Kelly she checks in every few days. It made me accountable to talk about things as opposed to saying I feel fine this week and don’t need a session. Kelly is also flexible with her session times and will work with you. During our sessions she offered suggestions on how to overcome anxiety and they are tools I will continue to use. It is because of her I feel I am in a much better place.
I enjoyed working with Kelly. She’s attentive and encouraging. I worked through several challenges successfully with her help. I’d recommend her for sure.
Kelly has been really helpful in getting me through a rough patch in my life. She makes me feel understood and listened to and I'm really grateful for the way she talks to me with absolute respect and openness.
Well I've only had 3 sessions with Kelly Dambra but she's really nice, and wants to help. I believe in her expertise.
I've been working with Kelly for a short time and already I feel better about things. I feel like she has listened to me from the start and always understands my issues and concerns. I'm very happy and grateful to have found her and hopeful with continuing to work with her from now on.
I just started with Kelly, and by far, she is one of the best counselors I have had. She is responsive via text, and I really feel like she is truly listening to me concerns and feelings. I am optimistic that working with her will help me a great deal with issues I have been struggling with for years.
Kelly has been wonderful to work with! She is prompt in her responses and has been very helpful to me.
I appreciated the couple of months I’ve been talking with Kelly about things I’ve been going through in life. It’s been really helpful to talk with someone who is an outside source and not related to my situation so I could get neutral answers to help me through. Kelly was always very kind and respectful with her reply’s along with responding in a nice timely fashion. Should I need further counseling its so nice to know she will always be there as a listening ear.
I have been wanting to get help for a long time and I was actively looking for local people to visit and after weeks and weeks of trying to locate someone I found BetterHelp and immediately subscribed. In a matter of hours I was matched with Kelly Dambra and since our initial counsel to the last she was so helpful with all my issues, really paying attention to each one individually and giving me the tools and strength I needed to cope and deal with all of them. My life has changed so much in the best way! I felt supported and understood and nothing in the world is more necessary when you need help to take important steps in your life. I highly recommend Kelly anytime to anyone; I'm so happy with her services and her professionalism, truly someone who cares and worth it! THANK YOU !
I have been working with Kelly for several months and she has been very helpful. She listens well and gives me the space and confidence to process my thoughts and work out solutions. She has made me very proactive in my recovery, and I cannot thank her enough.
Kelly is amazing! She is there when I need her and she has done nothing but help me sort through my tangles of messes of stresses and traumas and help guide me to continue heading down the right path in life of healing, freedom, self-love, self respect and keeping my focus on what is most important.
Kelly has been very supportive when I have been at my worst.
Kelly is really easy to work with and she helped me a lot through my dark times in life it’s been a quiet the journey thank you again Kelly for everything that you have helped me and helped me to achieve my goals on being happy again.

I want to take just a moment to tell you how much I think of Ms. Dambra. She is very understanding and professional in her work. She seems very sweet and attentive to your needs. I believe she has helped me accept my situation in a mature manner and that brings me relief. Thank you
Supportive, good at responding to messages, set out how the contact would work and stuck to it and has offered me insightful questions.
Kelly is an amazing counselor! I have recommended her & BetterHelp to multiple people in my life! She understand me & my goals that I'm looking to achieve with therapy FULLY. It's very easy to open up and talk to her freely about any topic. The communication between us is by far greater than anything I expected!
