About Kimbly
Kimbly Kellam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports people coping with trauma, low self-esteem, and mood struggles. Her focus is to listen and help clients find practical ways forward.
She works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. Sessions center on the client’s goals and strengths while the counselor offers tools and perspective.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, doable steps rather than vague advice. Clinically she draws on several approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. That means clients might talk through what is happening now, try concrete behavior and thought changes, and practice awareness skills to reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding or keeping motivation for change. With 20 years of experience in Virginia, she has supported people facing chronic illness, aging concerns, addiction issues, and post-traumatic stress among other challenges. Her style aims to be respectful and steady, offering both listening and practical strategies.
Beginning therapy usually starts with identifying the most pressing concern and then choosing small goals. Sessions are paced to fit what the person needs, whether that is short-term coping tools or ongoing work on deeper patterns.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; clients learn practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaboration means the plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief homework prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
