Kellie Jondro , LICSW, LCSW

Kellie Jondro is a licensed clinical social worker based in Florida with 26 years of experience in mental health care. She holds the credentials LICSW and LCSW - LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and is licensed to practice in both Florida and Rhode Island. Kellie earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida and has applied that training across a variety of roles, including individual and family therapist, respite foster care parent, crisis counselor, home health therapist, and social worker in a dialysis clinic.

Kellie is committed to helping people develop practical coping skills and resilience to manage stressors such as anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works from the assumption that people have an innate capacity for change and that empathetic, non-judgmental support combined with small, solution-focused actions can create meaningful, lasting improvements. Her style emphasizes listening, practical insights, and achievable steps tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Outside of clinical work, Kellie values time outdoors and enjoys camping, live music, and family activities with her husband and young adult children. She also spends part of her time working as a substitute teacher with special needs children, reflecting a long-standing commitment to service and care.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Therapy

Kellie Jondro uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify practical goals and small, concrete steps that move them toward meaningful change. This approach focuses on strengths and solutions rather than dwelling on problems, making it useful for concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and adjusting to life changes. It is goal-oriented and often emphasizes what is already working in a person’s life so those strategies can be built upon.

Alongside solution-focused work, Kellie brings an empathic, attentive style that values listening and collaboration. She partners with each person to explore needs, priorities, and preferences, and together they determine which strategies and techniques are the best fit. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens through ongoing dialogue and shared decision making.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused support across different situations, helping clients access therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
