About Kettia
Kettia Duperval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of professional experience. She practices in Florida and offers straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Kettia speaks English and Haitian Creole, which can make it easier for bilingual clients to express themselves.
Kettia focuses on practical conversations that address real-life problems. She tailors sessions to each person rather than using one fixed approach.
Background and approach
Common topics she helps with include relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, sleep and eating problems, and coping with major life changes. In sessions she aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. She helps people sort through emotions, identify patterns, and try new ways of responding.
Sessions often involve setting simple goals and practicing skills that can be used between meetings. Her background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, first responder stress, and other challenging circumstances. Kettia also supports people dealing with ADHD symptoms, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation.
People who benefit most tend to want practical tools and a clear plan. Kettia helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time. She encourages steady progress and honest conversation about what is and isn’t working.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Many clients benefit from tried-and-true therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical change. One useful approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. Another common strand focuses on processing past hurt and trauma in manageable ways so painful memories cause less disruption in daily life. These methods are aimed at improving mood, day-to-day coping, and relationships rather than offering quick fixes.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then try methods that fit. If something isn’t helping, the plan is adjusted so sessions stay relevant and focused on progress.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or get support when writing feels easier. These options help make consistent care more convenient and adaptable to changing schedules.
