About Kimberly
Kimberly began her career after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services in 2000. She worked in behavioral health with both children and adults and spent time in skilled nursing settings. After a decade teaching elementary school, she returned to social work and completed a Master’s degree in 2017 before finishing clinical training and obtaining LCSW status in 2020.
She holds a Case Manager certification from the Commission for Case Manager Certification and continues professional learning in trauma, ethics for older adults, and support for people facing major life stressors. That mix of clinical and educational experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets practical goals.
Common topics she helps people address include family and parenting concerns, career decisions, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, motivation, relationship challenges, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals, steady guidance, and building skills that fit daily life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers support for people ready to make changes.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Kimberly draws on focus on teaching skills and changing patterns. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety, stress, and improving sleep or daily routines. It breaks problems into manageable steps and practices small changes between sessions.Another frequently used method concentrates on processing difficult experiences like trauma and grief by helping people make sense of what happened and learn ways to feel safer in daily life. This approach pairs careful pacing with tools for managing strong emotions. Both approaches aim at clear, usable skills rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, comfort level, and life demands. She adjusts pace and focus as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can meet during a break or after work. These practical benefits often help clients keep steady progress while juggling everyday responsibilities.
