About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Fahey is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in Connecticut. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those working through changes in parenting, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Kim creates a calm environment where people can speak openly about what is worrying them.
Her practice emphasizes listening first. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people name the thoughts and patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at practical steps you can try between meetings. Kim draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses client-centered work to build trust, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to ease overwhelming feelings.
She also pulls from psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when those perspectives help move things forward. People often come for help with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and low self-worth. Other concerns she has supported include abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, hoarding, impulsivity, and loneliness.
Her style is warm and direct. She partners with people to set small, doable goals and checks progress along the way. Kim works in English and practices from Connecticut, bringing a steady presence to each session.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making space for your concerns. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you set goals that feel right for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers clear exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice and sit with difficult feelings so they feel less overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans as you make progress. The process is shared and practical, with regular checks to see what helps and what needs changing.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let you send thoughts between meetings and keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life without long commutes.
