Kimberley Sterling, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Kimberley

Kimberley Sterling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical work. She focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and life changes. Her approach is steady and compassionate.

She aims to create a calm space where someone can name their feelings and start to feel more in control. Kimberley uses practical, evidence-based methods to address painful memories and stuck patterns. She often pairs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with trauma-focused tools to reduce the hold of past events.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit when processing traumatic memories. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. She describes her role as walking beside people rather than leading or following - offering support while clients set the direction.

The style is gentle but active, with attention to skills clients can use between meetings. Communication and relationships are a regular focus, including issues like attachment, abandonment, divorce, and family of origin concerns. She also works with first responder and veteran issues, panic and mood disorders, grief, and self-harm concerns.

Conversations will include practical strategies for coping and clearer thinking. Kimberley offers a mix of messaging and live sessions. She responds to messages routinely and aims to reply as soon as she can.

In crisis situations she directs people to contact local emergency services immediately.

Approaches for healing online and in-session

Kimberley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to improve mood and functioning. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and day-to-day coping skills.

She also draws on EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - when trauma memories are interfering with daily life. EMDR works by processing distressing memories so they hold less emotional charge and cause fewer symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy gives flexibility to meet from home or work using different formats. Kimberley offers video calls and phone sessions for full conversations, plus live chat and text-based messaging for quick check-ins and skill work between meetings. These options make it easier to get regular support and to practice tools in real life.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
