Kelly Brignoni, LMFT

Kelly Brignoni is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, down, or unsure about their relationships. She also supports those working through trauma, low self-esteem, and major life changes.

Her work focuses on each person’s story and daily habits. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. She also uses dialectical behavior skills for managing intense emotions and narrative techniques to reframe life events.

Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around what the person needs. Her practice describes a faith-informed stance, so spiritual beliefs can be part of the conversation when relevant to the client.

Kelly has helped people address a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment struggles, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with substance use, domestic violence aftermath, and separation or divorce issues.

Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people build everyday habits that reduce distress and improve relationships. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

Approach-focused online therapy that centers daily habits

Kelly uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and when worry gets in the way of daily life.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach concrete tools for tolerating distress and regulating emotion. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are intense.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn about formats offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use skills between sessions and bring everyday habit changes into daily routines.
