Kimberly Giliberti, LMHC

Kimberly Giliberti is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship or family struggles. She works with adults and adolescents on issues like grief, addiction, low self-esteem, ADHD, and mood disorders. Kimberly writes plainly and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

She trained at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and completed a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology at NOVA Southeastern University. Kimberly has four years of clinical experience and holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Her typical approach starts with clear goals and simple strategies. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. She adapts to what a person needs in the moment and will shift methods if that makes more sense for the work.

Kimberly has also been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, and has used it with adults facing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief. In sessions she mixes talk therapy with hands-on techniques when appropriate.

People meet her for concrete tools to manage panic, reduce overwhelm, and reframe negative self-talk. She also helps people work through attachment or communication problems, impulsivity, and workplace stress. The focus is on small, actionable changes that add up over time.

How CBT and EMDR can be used in online work

Kimberly uses two main methods that translate well to conversation-based sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It often involves short exercises, simple experiments, and homework that people can practice between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In plain terms it guides attention while talking through difficult experiences to lessen their hold on daily life; it is often used for PTSD, anxiety, depression, or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past responses to therapy, and what feels manageable, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best meet scheduling and practical needs.
