About Kimberly
Kimberly Harris is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related issues.
She uses a conversational style in sessions. Kimberly focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what can be changed next.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Mindfulness practices and elements of emotionally-focused work are available when they fit the goals.
Kimberly pays attention to family of origin patterns, attachment and communication problems that affect everyday life at home. She also addresses substance use, eating and sleeping difficulties, and work-related stress that spill into relationships.
She encourages straightforward conversations about what is working and what is not. Sessions include talking through current problems, experimenting with new responses, and checking progress over time. People who want a practical, goal-oriented approach often find this style useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters most to the person and helps set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust plans as progress is tracked, and blend approaches when that makes sense for the goals.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online sessions also make it easier to keep therapy going when schedules or locations change.
