About Kimberly
Kimberly Gresham is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on practical tools that can be used day to day to manage difficult feelings and regain confidence. Kimberly aims to make therapy feel supportive and doable for busy lives.
Her style is client-centered and empathetic. Sessions emphasize clear steps, self-awareness, and skills you can practice outside of the room.
How Kimberly works
She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness therapy to match each person’s needs. Kimberly describes her work as culturally informed and strengths-based. She listens without judgment and helps people identify what feels most important to them.
That shared focus guides decisions about which strategies to try first. Over six years she has helped people cope with life changes and difficult patterns, and she brings that practical experience into each session. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances empathy with active skill-building. Kimberly supports people who want to make steady progress and rebuild a sense of resilience and clarity in their daily life.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific techniques to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for stress and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try strategies in the settings where they live and work, then bring questions back to the session for real-time problem solving.
