Kimberly Giliberti, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Kimberly

Kimberly Giliberti is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside common issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions practical so caregivers can find strategies that fit busy lives. Kimberly draws on skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address symptoms that interfere with daily functioning.

She is based in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Kimberly trained at the University of Central Florida, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and completed graduate study at Nova Southeastern University with a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology.

Background and approach

She holds an FL LMHC license, FL LMHC MH11249. Her clinical background includes work supporting adolescents and adults with mood disorders, ADHD, and grief. Her style begins with practical steps to reduce distress and then adds deeper work as needed.

Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways to respond. When trauma or intense grief is present, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to target those memories. Kimberly emphasizes collaboration.

She helps parents and caregivers set realistic goals, practice communication skills, and manage stress linked to family life. Her approach aims to create clearer routines, improve problem solving, and reduce overwhelming emotions. Parents looking for straightforward support around parenting challenges, relationship strain, or mood and attention concerns may find her approach useful.

She offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules.

Online approaches for family and parenting concerns

Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress and gives concrete tools to try between sessions.

She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which works with distressing memories by processing them in targeted sessions. EMDR can be helpful for post-traumatic stress, grief, and strong emotional reactions tied to past events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts techniques over time based on progress and preference.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, phone sessions and live chat provide shorter or more personal options, and text-based messaging supports check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a caregiving schedule while still working on practical skills and healing.

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.
