About Kimberly
She uses straightforward, practical methods and listens without judgment. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits, then trying small changes that fit into real life. Kimberly blends talk therapy with mindfulness and behavioral tools to help clients notice what matters and take steps toward it.
Kimberly trained at Wayne State University, earning a Master of Arts in Mental Health, School Counseling and Substance Use Counseling. She brings 13 years of experience working across community mental health, substance use programs, schools, refugee services, integrative clinics, and private practice. That range informs how she adapts sessions to each person's circumstances.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered listening, and existential perspectives. She also incorporates trauma-focused practices when needed and attends to spiritual or cultural concerns when clients want that included.
Kimberly aims to make therapy a safe place to try new ways of thinking and acting. She focuses on clear steps clients can use between sessions. People who want a compassionate, practical counselor may find her style direct and supportive.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. This approach helps people whose worries or avoidance get in the way of living the life they want.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing everyday routines that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines ideas from different approaches and checks in to see what is working.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific formats here, so ask which kinds of sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join when leaving home is difficult. Many people find that doing practical skill work and behavioral experiments between sessions fits well with an online schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so clients keep progress moving forward.
