More about Kimberly

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed and certified therapist in New York. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with several different populations, with a gamut of issues. I have been in the field for thirty years. I work with individuals, families, and couples. I enjoy working with all ages.

My approach is low- key, warm, and patient. I try to meet the client where they are and go at a pace that they are comfortable with in the treatment course. Although I have been trained in psychoanalysis and psychodynamics, I have an eclectic approach dependent on what the client needs. The most important factor is that the client feels comfortable with the therapist. There has to be a rapport and a relationship of trust that builds eventually over time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
