About Kimberly
Kimberly Boogaerts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas. She has four years of clinical experience and works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, parenting concerns, and related issues. She began her training with a degree in elementary education and a minor in early childhood.
Kimberly then completed a master's degree that led to her LPC credential in Texas. Those classroom and clinical experiences led to work across several settings and with a range of ages and backgrounds.
Background and approach
Her sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. She uses ideas from Gestalt, cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and structural systems to shape conversations and tasks. The aim is to match tools to what each person finds most helpful.
Kimberly emphasizes meeting clients where they are and building a plan together. Sessions can aim for reduced symptoms, better daily functioning, or deeper insight depending on the person’s goals. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort toward greater well-being.
She also has experience supporting people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns and those dealing with obsessions, compulsions, and OCD. If a parent or caregiver is feeling overwhelmed, she offers practical strategies to manage stress and the demands of daily life. Kimberly’s approach is straightforward and supportive.
She invites people ready to make changes to start a conversation about their goals and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Gestalt-influenced work focuses on present experience and awareness in the moment, helping people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and try small experiments to change them. This can help when anxiety or relationship patterns feel stuck.Cognitive-behavioral techniques teach concrete skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, including steps to reduce anxious or depressive symptoms and to handle obsessions or compulsions. Mindfulness practices train attention and self-calming skills that support stress reduction and clearer decision making.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their needs and preferences. If something isn’t working, adjustments and new strategies are introduced together.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and allow brief updates or between-session contact. These formats help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
