Background and approach
Kimberly adapts the pace and the tools to each person's needs instead of following a fixed script. Kimberly brings eight years of professional experience to her work. She holds an LCPC, which is the Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor credential.
That background informs how she blends talking, skills practice, and goal-setting in sessions. Her approach draws on several methods. She uses client-centered listening to make space for what matters to you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness exercises are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. People can expect clear goals, concrete techniques, and encouragement to try new ways of coping.
Kimberly aims to empower clients to find more balance, steadiness, and meaning in daily life. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

04Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, helps clarify your goals, and supports you as you make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT online often uses brief skill-building exercises and homework you can practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and increasing distress tolerance, which can be taught and practiced through video or messaging.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership includes checking in about how an approach feels and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls let you see visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact for skills coaching and check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping a steady course of support.
