About Kelli
Kelli Dumas is an LCSW with 22 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with career questions, sleep problems, and coping with major life changes.
She has a long history of working with people from varied backgrounds, including first responders, military personnel, and medical professionals. Kelli approaches each conversation by treating the person as the expert on their own story and looking for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps the client can try between meetings.
Her work often focuses on patterns that began in the family of origin, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. She also addresses problems such as infidelity, commitment concerns, communication breakdowns, and forgiveness or guilt and shame. Kelli uses approaches grounded in evidence to help clients notice and change recurring behavior and feeling patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-oriented sessions aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning. Over time the model emphasizes skills, coping strategies, and clearer communication rather than long theoretical discussion. Kelli accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Many clinicians use cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practice alternative responses. This approach can be useful for anxiety, ADHD-related routines, and sleep problems.Attachment-focused work looks at how early family relationships shape expectations and relationship patterns today. It can help people notice repeating family-of-origin dynamics and try different ways of relating in the present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means the approach can change as needs and priorities become clearer.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to work with licensed professionals across different states or countries when arrangements permit.
