Background and approach
Kimberly adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs and pace. She draws on several well-known methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. These tools are used to help people change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and build better daily routines.
With nine years of experience, Kimberly has supported people through trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation, ADHD-related struggles, and complex issues like codependency, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She explains things plainly and helps clients try practical steps between sessions. Kimberly offers online sessions in multiple formats to fit different needs.
She guides each person in choosing strategies that match their goals and life demands, and she works collaboratively to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and coping, which works well in brief video or messaging check-ins.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those concrete skills can be reviewed and practiced during sessions and reinforced with reminders or brief messages between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy offers techniques to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. Short guided practices and breath work can be done during a session or practiced on one's own between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life demands to choose methods that fit. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients have an active role in shaping therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and teaching skills, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or moments when typing is easier, and messaging supports short coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
