About Kimber
Kimber Brokaw is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people move past what keeps them stuck. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work in Illinois. Kimber speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel better.
She welcomes questions and aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. Kimber’s style centers on understanding how someone’s wiring and past wounds shape current struggles.
Background and approach
She explains patterns in simple terms and uses hands-on exercises when that helps people connect with their next step. Sessions blend talk with practical tools so clients learn skills they can use between meetings. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
Kimber also addresses workplace issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control challenges, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with life transitions, midlife questions, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and life purpose. Therapeutic methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and psychodynamic approaches, and solution-focused techniques.
Kimber adapts these methods to the person in the room and selects exercises to match individual needs and goals. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps toward change. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
Kimber uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she can help new clients understand the process and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Kimber commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and choose different, more helpful ways to understand their lives.She approaches treatment as a collaboration. Kimber will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches and exercises that match those needs. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with video, phone, chat, or text messaging lets people fit care into busy days and manage life responsibilities while getting support. These formats make it easier to check in between sessions and to practice tools where they are needed. Kimber uses these options to keep work practical, flexible, and focused on steps clients can use right away.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
