About Keli
Keli Karbowski is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping adults manage strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma and grief, and also addresses family and parenting difficulties. She offers practical support for people coping with mood disorders, addictions, and self-esteem struggles.
In sessions she uses clear, direct conversation to unpack what feels most urgent. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness-based practices are used to ground people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Keli pays attention to the specific problems that bring someone into therapy. That can include communication breakdowns, codependency, guilt and shame, or the fallout from abandonment and foster care experiences. She also works with issues related to veterans and armed forces experiences when those come up in talk therapy.
People can expect practical steps alongside emotional processing. Sessions often identify simple behavior changes, ways to reduce acute stress, and strategies to manage mood swings or impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing techniques help clarify goals and support readiness for change.
Her approach is straightforward and centered on finding what helps a person function better day to day. If parenting strain, family conflict, or addiction concerns are present, she addresses them within individual therapy sessions and looks for workable next steps.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach focus on clear communication, reflecting what a person says, and helping them identify priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often includes simple exercises to try between meetings, such as tracking thought patterns and testing small behavior changes.These methods are used collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Deciding which tools to use is a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. If session formats are important to you, confirm the current options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions can make it easier to keep frequent check-ins, try brief coaching-style meetings, or schedule longer work when needed, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
