About Kelly

Kelly Bizzarro is a Florida LCSW with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, communication and control issues, and substance use problems.

She prefers plain language and practical tools in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. She keeps conversations direct and often uses small doses of humor to ease tension.

Kelly pays attention to how family of origin patterns show up in adult life. She helps people recognize inherited roles, expectations, and ways of relating that still shape decisions now. Work can include looking at boundaries, commitment concerns, and how early dynamics affect current relationships.

Sessions focus on specific, usable skills alongside discussion. People often leave with simple strategies to manage strong feelings, reduce substance use urges, or improve communication. She helps clients test changes in day-to-day situations rather than only talk about them.

Telehealth is a routine part of her practice and she meets people by remote session. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How evidence-based approaches are used in telehealth

Kelly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT often focuses on small, testable changes in thinking and behavior that can reduce anxiety, depression, and urges related to substance use.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises may be used to manage strong emotions, dissociation, or cravings in real time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts methods over time based on what is most helpful for daily life and relationships rooted in early family patterns.

Telehealth is described as a regular way she meets clients, but prospective clients should confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel, or meet from quieter surroundings when that is possible. Ask about the available formats and scheduling details when you sign up so sessions fit into your routine.
