Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and improving distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques help people notice their thoughts without getting swept up by them. Her background includes nine years of experience working in Mississippi in a variety of settings.
Kimberly has worked with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, sleep problems, and parenting stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image struggles, and career-related pressures. Sessions are tailored to each person.
She blends approaches - sometimes using motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat across relationships. The plan is practical and adjustable as goals shift. Kimberly aims to create a respectful space where people can speak plainly about what’s hard.
She focuses on skills people can try right away, and on helping them build routines that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
How these approaches translate to online care
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which helps when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus, useful for stress and recurring worry.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try an approach, and adjust plans together if something does not fit. That means sessions can shift between skills practice, problem-solving, and exploring patterns depending on progress and preference.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill demonstrations and longer work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
