About Kimberli

Kimberli Patrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps parents and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps families can use at home. Her calm, personable manner helps people feel heard and steady during difficult moments.

Kimberli centers her work on the client and adapts to each family’s needs. She meets with individuals and family members to set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear communication, manageable coping skills, and ways to reduce everyday stressors that affect family life. Her background spans inpatient adolescent substance treatment, community mental health, school-based counseling, in-home therapy, and independent practice. That mix means she has seen issues from many angles and can suggest approaches that fit different family routines and schedules.

Kimberli uses experience with group and individual work to help with parenting, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She also has worked with people facing substance misuse, mood regulation concerns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, autism spectrum challenges, and cancer-related caregiving issues.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She brings more than three decades of practice to each family, focusing on practical, everyday strategies that aim to make life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online family support

Kimberli draws on evidence-based techniques that are practical for family life. One common approach focuses on client-centered work, which means she follows the family’s lead, listens closely, and adapts topics and pace to what feels most useful. This helps when parents need support with communication or decision-making. Another approach emphasizes skills-based coping strategies that teach clear methods for managing stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. These techniques aim to give families simple tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each family to identify goals and then tests methods that fit the household routine, preferences, and needs. Progress is reviewed together so adjustments can be made when something does not fit.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties and allow ongoing support when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on problem-solving, teach parenting strategies, and practice communication skills in ways that translate to daily life.
