About Kimberly
She brings curiosity and plain talk to sessions. Kimberly listens for clues in your stories and asks questions that help you notice patterns. She blends several counseling approaches to tailor a plan that fits each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
Her background includes graduate training in counselor education from Rollins College in Florida. Over her career she has supported people with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and a range of relationship and identity concerns. Her work also covers areas such as ADHD, addictions, trauma and attachment issues.
Kimberly prefers voice or video sessions for the stronger emotional connection they can provide, and she does not offer chat-only sessions. She also notes a messaging option available between sessions for ongoing check-ins.
In a session with Kimberly, expect straightforward questions, practical ideas to try between meetings, and a focus on skills that fit your daily life. She aims to help people notice what is working, try small changes, and build on what matters most to them.

Approaches used in online counseling and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now; it can help with relationship problems, intimacy concerns, and attachment-related difficulty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life.
Kimberly emphasizes voice or video contact because she finds them better for emotional connection, and she does not offer chat-only sessions. If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier, let conversations fit around daily life, and allow regular check-ins without long travel time.
