Background and approach

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation when feelings feel overwhelming. Kimberly has spent a large part of her career working with people connected to the child welfare system and with women who survived childhood sexual trauma. She has experience helping people dealing with addiction, codependency, grief, and the stresses of parenting or caregiving.

Her background includes work with LGBTQ clients and with those facing attachment and adoption-related concerns. Sessions are practical and focused. Kimberly helps clients set short-term steps while keeping longer-term goals in view.

She pays attention to immediate problems that can block progress and works with clients to regain focus and stability. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and is licensed in Florida and North Carolina as LMHC and LCMHC.

Kimberly offers therapy that mixes empathy with clear tools for change, and she helps people navigate life transitions, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.

Therapy approaches for online care and skill building

Kimberly commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own answers; it is helpful when people need acceptance and clarity about their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxious or depressive symptoms.

She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach ways to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and tolerate difficult moments without reacting in ways that cause more harm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adjusts the plan as issues shift, balancing short-term problem solving with longer-term growth.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone calls can be more convenient when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These choices help people fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
