About Kimberly
Kimberly Williams is a licensed clinical social worker who brings six years of hands-on practice to her work. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. She speaks plain, straightforwardly and centers each session on the person's goals and strengths.
Clients can expect a calm, collaborative space where the therapist listens first. Kimberly helps people name problems and try small, practical steps to feel different. Sessions often focus on skills that can be used between meetings to handle stress and reduce worry.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered principles that put the person's experience at the center. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing inform how she helps people stay motivated and more present.
Kimberly works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. She practices in Colorado and holds LCSW and CSW credentials.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Kimberly commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps them use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These approaches are practical and skill-based, which adapts well to virtual sessions and messaging work. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - she will discuss options and tailor methods to the person's goals, needs, and preferences so care is a collaborative effort.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and help keep momentum between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
