Kimberly currently works as a school social worker with Pre K through 5th grades while also providing care for individuals and adolescents. She has worked in schools and in home settings, coordinating with teachers and other professionals to identify practical needs and next steps. Her background gives her experience in cases that touch on adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and communication challenges.
In sessions she uses straightforward techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and try alternative responses. Kimberly also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and client-centered methods to focus on each person’s goals.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools appear in her work when clients want short-term strategies and skills they can practice between meetings. She helps people try concrete coping steps for anger, sleep, or anxiety and tracks small changes over time. Kimberly aims to help clients build clearer patterns of coping and more manageable day-to-day routines.
Her practice emphasizes practical problem-solving and coordination with school or community supports when that is helpful. People who want structured sessions and focused skill practice may find her approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Kimberly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing coping tools for anxiety, sleep, or mood problems.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns. That work looks at how connections and expectations affect communication and emotional responses. Client-centered methods guide the pace of sessions, with a focus on the individual's goals and preferences rather than a fixed agenda.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and daily life. She will check goals regularly and adjust the focus if a different method seems more useful.
