About Keli
Keli Karbowski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 22 years of experience. She focuses on common and complex struggles like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and anger. She also works with people facing addiction, mood disorders, ADHD, and relationship or career stress.
Her approach centers on listening first and figuring out what a person needs. Sessions are practical and direct. She helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and try different ways to respond.
Keli uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and actions. She also draws on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and motivational interviewing to support behavior change. Solution-focused techniques are used to set concrete, short-term goals.
She has long experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and issues that follow abuse or loss. That includes working with people who struggle with isolation, shame, self-harm thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current responses.
In sessions she helps people build practical coping skills and adjust how they communicate when anger or anxiety comes up. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges linked to military service. Keli speaks English and practices in Florida.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers specific exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keli will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. She adapts sessions based on how someone responds and what practical steps feel useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often use video or phone to guide CBT exercises, practice mindfulness, and set solution-focused goals, which can be helpful for managing anger and stress in day-to-day life.
