About Kimberly

Kimberly Boogaerts is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Arkansas. She brings four years of clinical work and a background in elementary education to sessions. She speaks English and works with adults and teens who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, anger, trauma, and related issues.

Kimberly draws on practical strategies to help people manage difficult feelings and daily challenges. Her training began with a degree in elementary education and a minor in early childhood, followed by a master’s degree in counseling that led to licensure as an LPC.

Background and approach

That mix of classroom and counseling experience informs the way she explains skills in clear, simple terms. Sessions often include teachable skills and step-by-step plans rather than only talk about feelings. Kimberly uses techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also incorporates elements of mindfulness to teach present-moment awareness and coping for stress. Structural systems ideas help when family patterns and roles affect a person’s wellbeing. Her approach is collaborative and practical.

She aims to meet clients where they are and build a plan that fits their life and goals. Whether someone wants relief from symptoms or wants deeper insight, she focuses on concrete steps to move forward. For people managing grief, hospice concerns, or ongoing obsessive-compulsive symptoms, she offers focused work toward clearer routines and healthier responses.

Kimberly encourages clients to take the first step when they feel ready and supports them along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Kimberly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive. This approach helps people build small, practical habits that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to teach calm focus and better emotion regulation. These simple exercises are useful for managing anger, anxiety, and the stress of parenting or caregiving situations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust techniques and pace so the work fits the client’s life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy households and caregivers. These formats make it possible to connect from home or between commitments, while still working on concrete skills and plans. The variety of options helps people find a rhythm that supports ongoing progress and real-world change.
