Background and approach

That mix shapes what they try between meetings and what gets practiced in real life. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means clients learn to notice thoughts and habits, try different behaviors, and use simple mindfulness practices to steady attention.

She can also integrate a Christian perspective when a client requests it, though it is not her default approach. Kimberly respects each person’s story and keeps a nonjudgmental stance. She says work with her will include encouragement, honest feedback, and practical steps to reach goals.

Humor and warmth are part of the process when it fits. She practices in Tennessee and works with adults who need help managing anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and related concerns. Conversations focus on clear, attainable changes and tools people can use between sessions.

How Kimberly Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete alternatives to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to take those steps.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kimberly works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.

Online therapy with Kimberly uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversation and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter environment is easier to find. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options allow sessions to fit work schedules, caregiving duties, and varied home routines.
