Kellie Jondro

Kellie Jondro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Rhode Island and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 26 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, women’s concerns, and workplace issues.

She uses a solution-focused approach that emphasizes small, practical steps. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations aim to identify what is working now and build simple habits that reduce distress in daily life.

Kellie’s background includes work as an individual and family therapist, a crisis counselor, a home health therapist, and a dialysis clinic social worker. She also has experience as a respite foster care parent and currently substitutes with special needs children. Those roles inform how she supports people managing ongoing health or caregiving demands.

In sessions she listens for concrete patterns and helps people test short experiments between meetings. That may mean trying brief coping techniques, adjusting routines, or practicing ways to reduce social anxiety and workplace stress. The focus is on practical changes that fit into everyday life.

Outside work she enjoys camping, live music, and time with her young adult children. She practices what she recommends about getting outdoors and balancing responsibilities. People looking for a direct, action-oriented approach to life purpose and coping skills may find this style helpful.

How Kellie’s Solution-Focused Work Translates Online

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, achievable steps rather than long discussions about the past. It asks what is already working and builds on those strengths with small experiments and habit shifts. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, life changes, and questions about life purpose by breaking larger problems into manageable tasks.

The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that best match the client’s goals and preferences. Figuring out the right approach is part of the process; sessions include reviewing what helps and adjusting methods over time. Clients and therapist set short-term goals and track progress together.

The original biography does not specify the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also accommodate clients managing health conditions or caregiving duties by letting sessions happen from wherever it is simpler to step away for a focused conversation.
