Kelly Bizzarro

Kelly Bizzarro is a Florida LCSW with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Kelly also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, dissociation, and drug and alcohol addiction. Her approach is plainspoken and practical. She avoids clinical jargon and focuses on clear tools people can use between sessions. Sessions are conversational and direct, with attention to what feels manageable for each person. Kelly emphasizes evidence-based techniques alongside mindfulness and practical coping strategies. She and the client decide together which methods to try and adjust them as needed. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how she keeps conversations grounded. She has worked across a range of complex concerns, including personality-related difficulties like avoidant and dependent traits, communication and control issues, and the effects of trauma. That background informs a focus on concrete steps to reduce harmful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning. Kelly offers telehealth sessions and supports people who need flexible scheduling. People choosing her practice will complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The subscription-style payment model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Kelly describes using cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. CBT work often involves setting small, practical goals and testing new ways of responding to situations that cause distress. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, and problematic patterns linked to addiction or relationship conflict.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without acting on them immediately. Mindfulness can support managing strong emotions, dissociation, and urges tied to substance use by building moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust techniques based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to match practical tools to what a person is trying to change rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography indicates Kelly meets clients via telehealth, but does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday break or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow for sessions without a camera if someone prefers audio, and it can help maintain continuity when routines change.
