About Kelli

Kelli Brunk is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years in private practice. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and sees clients in Florida. Kelli focuses on common life stresses and the everyday problems that keep people up at night, including sleep concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and parenting strains.

Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions are a place to name what’s getting in the way, try small changes, and notice what helps. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and habits, and draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and workable steps.

Kelli has long experience working with people facing trauma, loss, chronic health challenges, caregiving strain, and the ripple effects of major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, communication and commitment issues, and problems tied to aging or chronic illness.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental setting where feelings and thoughts can be shared. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on observable changes clients can try between meetings. Kelli encourages small experiments that build better sleep routines and clearer coping plans.

If someone prefers Spanish, she can hold sessions in that language. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How cognitive and solution-focused work translate online

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online or in person, this can mean tracking sleep patterns, testing a different bedtime routine, and practicing calmer thinking around worries. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, specific goals and the steps that move a person toward them, such as identifying one manageable change to improve rest or reduce stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try a method, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which tools fit the problem and the person’s day-to-day life.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone work on sleep routines while keeping therapy integrated with everyday routines. Licensed professionals adapt homework, tracking, and goal setting to work across the format the client prefers.
