About Kimberley

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She uses practical, goal-oriented therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at creating clear steps clients can try between sessions.

She has 20 years of experience and focuses on issues such as parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns like ADHD, bipolar disorder, and sexual assault and abuse, along with related topics such as intimacy, self-esteem, and anger.

Background and approach

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), blending skills training with problem-solving. Mindfulness and narrative techniques also appear in her approach to help people notice patterns and reframe painful stories.

Sessions move between talking, skill practice, and small experiments clients can try at home. Kimberley has experience supporting people connected to intellectual and developmental disability, chronic illness, and fertility concerns, among other complex life situations. She aims to understand each person’s daily reality before suggesting a plan.

She keeps the focus on practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform’s process to match and schedule a first session. Kimberley’s background and pragmatic methods can suit people seeking clear direction and steady support through family and parenting-related challenges.

How Kimberley’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kimberley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help during strong reactions or conflict.

She also brings mindfulness and narrative ideas into sessions, helping clients notice their inner experience and rethink the stories they tell about themselves. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust the plan over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to practice skills between meetings. The variety of formats also lets people pick what feels most comfortable for talking through parenting, family, and personal concerns.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

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.
