About Kelli
Kelli Dumas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, self-esteem concerns, career shifts, and coping with life changes.
She has worked with people from many backgrounds, including first responders, military and medical professionals, and those facing addiction and PTSD. Kelli describes people as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths clients already have. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. She recognizes guilt and shame as common threads in many concerns and addresses them alongside other issues.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps clients make sense of patterns and reactions. Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, learning coping skills, and trying different ways of responding to stress. Kelli aims to help clients find more manageable ways to carry their day-to-day lives.
She accepts international clients and works in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used with adults who carry guilt or shame include trauma-informed methods that help people process painful events and their emotional impact. These approaches focus on breaking big memories into manageable parts and learning coping skills to reduce intense reactions.Skills-based techniques target anxiety, sleep problems, and anger by teaching practical strategies. That can mean learning breathing and grounding exercises, adjusting daily routines to improve sleep, or practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and impulsive responses.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past efforts, and preferences, then test methods that seem like a fit. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session feels too much. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from different locations, which can help when someone is seeking a therapist with specific experience in guilt, shame, trauma, or addiction.
