01 · Who Kellie works with

Kellie works with stress, Anxiety, grief and self esteem

Kellie lists 5 specialisms and 9 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Kellie chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Kellie's own words

What Kellie says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

​My name is Kellie Jondro. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and Rhode Island. I am passionate about helping people build coping skills and resiliency to manage life’s stressors. I have been a mental health professional for 30+ years. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida. I have worked as an individual & family therapist, a respite foster care parent, a crisis counselor, a home health therapist, and a dialysis clinic social worker. I believe people have an innate capacity for change. Often, simply having an empathetic, caring, non-judgmental, neutral third party to vent to is golden. Adding new, positive insights and small, solution-focused actions to one’s day to day routine can yield lasting and meaningful results. I believe in the restorative power of the great outdoors. My husband and I enjoy camping, live music events, and spending time with our young adult children. I also work part time as a substitute teacher with special needs children. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

03 · How Kellie works

The 1 approach Kellie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Kellie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Kellie's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Kellie runs a session.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Kellie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kellie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kellie at this point.

2. Naming Kellie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kellie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kellie.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Kellie

Built from what Kellie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kellie's - Kellie has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 26 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Kellie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Kellie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
