About Kimberly
Kimberly Lackey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with clients facing grief, LGBT-related concerns, and depression. Kimberly also supports those dealing with career strain, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
She speaks English and draws on a long career in counseling to offer steady, practical help. Her approach begins by listening and treating each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps a person can try between meetings. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build on what already works. Kimberly often combines client-centered conversations with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused planning.
That means she pays attention to each person's values and feelings while also helping them practice different thoughts and actions. The work tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with concrete skills offered when they fit. She helps people address intimacy-related issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, gender dysphoria, and workplace stress.
Kimberly also offers support around hospice and end-of-life concerns, finding life purpose, and building self-love. Her aim is to help clients gain tools they can use outside of sessions. Starting therapy with her usually involves small, manageable steps.
She encourages clients to name one or two priorities and then try modest changes. Over time those small shifts can ease anxiety and make daily life feel more manageable.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening, acceptance, and building on strengths; it helps when someone needs a compassionate space to name what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depression by testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and quick goal-setting to create forward movement when life feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will listen to what matters to the client and adjust direction over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, notes between sessions, or a different way to share when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
