Background and approach
Kimberlee also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the problem. Mindfulness and breathing exercises are offered as simple tools for managing strong feelings.
Her background spans 31 years in behavioral health and includes individual and group counseling in settings such as nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health, foster care, and employee assistance programs. She has also provided online counseling for several years. In sessions she combines assessments, practical exercises, and homework when useful.
Goals are set together and adjusted over time. The work tends to be straightforward: identify a concern, try new skills, and notice what changes. Kimberlee draws on a master’s degree in counseling psychology and earlier college degrees in psychology and sociology.
She schedules appointments during weekday business hours and works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, addiction, and aging-related issues.
How Kimberlee’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by centering the conversation on the person’s concerns and priorities, helping them feel heard and involved in choosing goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kimberlee will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and daily routines, then suggest methods to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the work stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a way to fit therapy into a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make regular work on goals easier to maintain while using the therapeutic approaches described.
