Kelli Brunk, LCSW

Kelli Brunk is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years in private practice. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns.

Her style is direct and practical. She aims to build an open space where people can say what they are feeling without judgment. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to small, doable steps between meetings.

Brunk draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking and focus on solutions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot patterns that keep problems stuck. Solution-Focused methods help set clear short-term goals and find strengths to move forward.

She has long experience working with caregivers, people coping with chronic illness or cancer, and clients facing major life transitions. That background informs how she supports people managing grief, parenting stresses, sleep troubles, and career or self-esteem challenges.

Kelli encourages anyone who is nervous about starting to take a first step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. She asks people to pick the Start Therapy button and complete the brief intake to begin scheduling according to her availability.

How Kelli Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small changes. The work emphasizes what is already working and builds simple steps toward clearer, short-term objectives. It can help with relationship issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Many people find mixing techniques from both approaches helpful depending on the concern.
