About K​i​m​b​e​r​l​y

Kimberly McKenzie is a licensed social worker in Michigan who brings 24 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship challenges. Kimberly aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as she begins work together.

Clients can expect conversations shaped around their needs. Kimberly says she tailors dialogue and treatment plans to match what each person is facing. She emphasizes practical steps and everyday habits that influence thoughts and behavior, and works with people to build small changes that add up.

Her background includes long experience in settings that address addiction and trauma-related concerns, as well as support for LGBT issues. Kimberly also helps with body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and coping after disasters or separation.

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that focuses on how thoughts and actions connect. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and control issues, and has experience with first responder stress and domestic violence recovery.

Therapy begins with a straightforward conversation about goals and what feels most urgent. Kimberly aims to empower people to take practical steps toward feeling better and to develop habits that fit daily life.

How Kimberly Uses CBT Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and compulsive habits. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, addictions, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT or another focus makes the most sense. She aims to shape sessions around the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day routine so therapy fits into life rather than disrupting it.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier, shorten commute time, and let people continue care from different locations. It also allows focus on homework and brief check-ins that support changing thoughts and habits between appointments.
