About Kimberly
Kimberly Giliberti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She draws on practical approaches to help clients manage panic, mood swings, ADHD-related challenges, and struggles with self-esteem or isolation. Her style aims to be straightforward and focused on real-life changes.
She trained at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.
Background and approach
She completed graduate work at NOVA Southeastern University, earning a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology. Those studies inform a blend of structured techniques and thoughtful listening. In sessions she tends to start with clear goals and learning tools people can use between meetings.
Cognitive strategies help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma or persistent distress is present, she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Kimberly adapts her approach depending on what a person needs during a visit.
She works with adults and adolescents on issues like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, addiction concerns, and workplace stress. She also helps people handle parenting strain, communication problems, and intimacy-related worries. Practical steps, skill building, and short-term plans are common parts of her work.
Sessions often include homework, behavior experiments, and concrete ways to reduce symptoms. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use between appointments.
How CBT and EMDR can work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes simple exercises, homework between sessions, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It typically involves guided recall combined with bilateral stimulation and can help with post-traumatic stress, intense grief, and persistent anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a combination makes the most sense. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, quick coping tools, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
