About Kellie
Kellie Jondro is a licensed social worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She brings a calm, practical approach and aims to help people build everyday coping skills and stronger resilience. Kellie notes the value of having a caring, nonjudgmental person to talk with while working toward change.
She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida and practices as an LICSW and LCSW in Florida and Rhode Island. Kellie has worked in a wide range of roles over 26 years, including individual and family therapy, crisis counseling, home health, dialysis clinic social work, and respite foster care.
Kellie uses solution-focused approaches that emphasize small, doable actions and practical next steps. Sessions tend to center on what helps now and what can be tried between meetings to make daily life a bit easier. She also draws on her experience supporting people with caregiver stress, long-term illness and pain, isolation, and workplace challenges.
Outside of clinical work she values time outdoors, camping, and live music, and she spends time as a substitute teacher for special needs students. Those personal interests inform a grounded, down-to-earth style in sessions.
People who choose Kellie usually want straightforward strategies and an empathic listener. To begin, clients complete a matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How solution-focused work translates to online therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical, short-term actions and on building what already works in a person’s life. This approach focuses conversations on goals, current strengths, and small experiments to try between sessions. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, workplace issues, and adjusting to life changes.Given Kellie's emphasis on concrete steps, online work can support the same kinds of progress by keeping the focus on what to try day to day. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick the approach that fits their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one method is best. That collaborative process includes checking in about what helps and adjusting plans as needed.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Remote meetings can also let people take a shorter check-in on a break or avoid travel time, while keeping the session focused on practical coping skills and problem-solving.
