Background and approach

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice their values and strengthen emotional connection with themselves and others. Kimberly earned a Master of Social Work from Temple University and a bachelor's degree in psychology from La Salle University.

She holds the LCSW credential and has long experience supporting people facing trauma, substance use concerns, grief, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and career or life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she practices from Pennsylvania. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works. Kimberly emphasizes collaboration and moves at a pace set by each person.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry, change behavior, and improve sleep or mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different tools, and adjust methods over time so treatment matches the person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share between sessions or use written check-ins when talking live is difficult. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving demands, or when someone prefers not to use video.
