About Kelly
Kelly Bujnicki is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting strains, and issues with self-esteem. Kelly also focuses on caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety and workplace problems.
She uses a straightforward approach that starts with listening to each person's story. Kelly treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Kelly draws on client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different ways of responding. Together these approaches aim to reduce painful thoughts and make everyday coping more workable.
Her work is plainspoken and goal-directed. Kelly helps people sort through guilt or shame tied to relationships, family roles, or decisions they regret. She also supports those handling ongoing caregiver responsibilities or workplace stress.
People who prefer clear explanations and practical exercises will find this style useful. The therapist invites clients to try changes at a manageable pace and to reflect on what helps them feel steadier over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the client's perspective, helping them name what matters and notice personal strengths. This style is useful for people dealing with guilt, shame, or family tensions because it centers the client's own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tries practical experiments to shift patterns. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and homework that can be reviewed together during meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, social fears, and persistent self-critical thinking.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and checking in about what helps and what does not.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also allow people to use audio-only options when video is not wanted, or to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities.
