She is one of the best therapist I've had. Very knowledgeable about my situation and concerns. Really helped me through a lot.

Reviewed February 2024

She is very supportive and cheerful but it seems like I come to worthy insights myself and she’s just a person to text to while I’m solving all my problems alone. Dunno, maybe that’s the point.

More about Kimberly

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years experience working as a counselor and life coach. I have worked with clients helping them to learn how to cope with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, life changes, and parenting problems. In addition, I have homeschooled over 24 years and am familiar with the challenges facing homeschool families.

My counseling style is relaxed and compassionate, and I believe that communication and collaboration is important in the counseling relationship. I work hard to develop rapport to create a safe place for clients to be open and honest about their thoughts and feelings. My approach is based on my understanding of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-based therapy. As your counselor, I will work with you to develop goals that will help you to learn how to work through challenges you may face to have the life you desire.

By seeking counseling, I believe you have strength and courage, which are necessary to create the changes you are looking for. If you are ready to take the steps to transform your life, I am here to work with you, encourage you, and empower you.

I am looking forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kim is an amazing therapist. I have a few different in person and on BetterHelp and she is by far my favorite therapist. I am in therapy more for keeping up with life and navigating it and I’ve been super happy with how helpful she is. When I’m having a rough time or struggling with something specific she is great at pinpointing the feeling and explaining how our brain works or created these feelings or habits or whatever it may be and then helping with solutions or ways to navigate it! She also sends out very useful messages each week that help with a range of needs, I’ve enjoyed them and implemented some of the techniques. She also seems great at helping people with trauma as she’s mentioned some techniques she uses and classes she’s done and explains why the brain does certain things which probably helps understand trauma and such a lot. She’s very likeable, kind, understanding and I never ever feel judged by her so matter what I say. Couldn’t recommend her more

I have tried therapy 4-5 other times and never found a therapist that was right for me. This time, I did! She listens. She responds quickly. She seems to care. She gives amazing advice and asks if we are comfortable with the advice she gives. If not she gives us smaller steps or different paths to take! I LOVE her as my therapist!

It can take a long time to get help, to acknowledge to yourself that you need it and then to actually show up. Kim allayed any fears and preconceptions and has gently, compassionately and empathetically helped me work through inner struggles whilst providing enough food for thought at the right times. Therapy is hard, very hard, so your counsellor is crucial. Kim has made seemingly untraverseable bridges crossable for me and shown me lifetime tools that give me more strength than I've had in years.

Kimberly is very sweet and she always make sure to check up on you through the text messages. Which I found very nice. However I find talking to her goes nowhere so she gives me no help or advice. I feel like talking to a stranger on the street would be just as adequate. I often find a talk and when I'm done she has no response has no questions no lessons and I just keep talking and she goes on haha and hun and I learned nothing and don't grow it all I feel like I've wasted a s*** ton of money just talking to a person that did absolutely no actual work that would have taken studying or a college degree to do
