About Kelli
LCSW in Arizona and New Jersey with 22 years of experience, based in Florida. Kelli Dumas focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a practical approach to help people address specific problems.
Kelli describes people as experts on their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are direct and pragmatic. Conversations name the problems, identify patterns, and test small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
She has experience with first responders, military and medical professionals, and with people facing addiction, OCD, PTSD and ADHD. That range informs how she frames stress responses and recovery. Kelli uses clear language and concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
People who work with her can expect focused sessions that aim to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. She helps clients practice new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings. Progress is checked regularly and plans adjusted when needed.
Her training is shown by the LCSW credential, short for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Kelli is listed with AZ LCSW and NJ LCSW. She offers work in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include cognitive-behavioral methods that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; these are useful for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. They break issues into manageable steps and include practice between sessions.Trauma-focused approaches concentrate on reducing the hold of traumatic memories and symptoms. These methods teach coping skills for flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance and help people regain routine functioning. For addictions and related concerns, behavioral and relapse-prevention strategies focus on identifying triggers and building alternative responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, concerns, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into busy days. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help keep continuity for people who move or travel. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to maintain momentum between in-person meetings when that suits a client.
