About Kettia
Kettia Duperval is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and family concerns. She lists depression, addictions, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues among her common areas of work. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people break big problems into small steps. That can mean working on sleep and eating patterns, routines for parenting, managing anger, or plans to address substance use and mood swings.
Kettia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts what she does to the person in front of her. She will discuss what to try first and how to measure progress. Many clients start with concrete coping skills and then move into deeper discussion about trauma, grief, or relationship patterns.
Her background includes many years in clinical settings helping adults with caregiver stress, first responder issues, adoption and foster care matters, and aging concerns. She also lists work related to ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and trauma from domestic violence or abuse.
People who reach out usually want straightforward help managing strong emotions, improving family dynamics, or balancing parenting with work and life changes. To begin, the site process asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
She draws on evidence-based techniques to address immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills such as breathing, sleep routines, and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. These steps are useful for stress, panic, and daily functioning concerns.Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms through paced discussion and processing. This method helps people reduce reactivity and make sense of painful experiences over time, which can improve sleep, relationships, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted together as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session that avoids travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them keep regular appointments while managing caregiving, work, or school commitments.
