Kelli Brunk, LCSW

Kelli Brunk is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history in mental health care. She is a Florida LCSW with 28 years in private practice and more than five decades of overall experience in the field. Kelli speaks English and Spanish and routinely supports people dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hard. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on listening carefully to each person’s story. Kelli aims to help people recognize patterns that get in the way and to try small changes that make daily life easier.

Her background includes work with adults across a range of life challenges such as parenting strain, relationship conflict, career stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. She also has experience related to abandonment, caregiving stress, and coping after loss. That experience shapes how she supports people facing complex or overlapping concerns.

Kelli often uses straightforward, skills-based methods to manage symptoms and improve daily routines. She pairs that with short-term goal setting when someone wants quick tools and problem-solving. At the same time, she listens for deeper themes and long-standing patterns that may need attention over time.

If someone is new to therapy, Kelli walks through next steps and explains what to expect in early sessions. She encourages a collaborative pace so clients can move forward without feeling rushed.
