About Kettia
Kettia Duperval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 13 years of practice. She focuses on clear, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, or difficult emotions.

She works with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. She helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and career transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs so goals stay realistic and achievable. Kettia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and builds a plan together with each client. That plan can include coping skills, emotion regulation strategies, and steps to improve daily routines like sleep and eating.
She focuses on what can change now, not on what’s outside a person’s control. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations are paced to match each client’s comfort level, with room for slower reflection or focused skill practice.
She aims to help people notice small wins and use them to gain momentum. Kettia speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings years of experience supporting people through trauma, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. If someone wants practical help to reduce distress and build better routines, she offers a structured, empathetic way to move forward.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
She commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes building practical coping skills like grounding, breathing, and sleep routines to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This helps people manage overwhelm and get clearer control over stress responses.Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and difficult emotions through paced conversation and stabilization techniques. It aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and improve emotion regulation so everyday life feels more manageable. Both approaches are applied in ways that match a person's goals and comfort level.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques for a few sessions and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and short coaching between sessions possible. These options let people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and varied daily demands.
