About Kimberly
Kimberly Harshaw is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with seven years of experience. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC. Kimberly focuses on easing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, grief, and stress.
She also addresses issues like parenting concerns, relationship struggles, trauma, eating concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy. She draws on several evidence-based methods in her sessions.
Background and approach
Kimberly uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. Kimberly places emphasis on meeting people where they are and working alongside them.
She aims to create a respectful, empathetic space and to restore a sense of hope and control. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life changes rather than abstract theory. Her practice offers multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary depending on location and therapist scheduling. To start, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions based on the therapist's availability. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Online approaches and flexible delivery
Kimberly draws from cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. These strategies are practical and often involve setting small goals and trying new ways of thinking in daily life.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help people manage strong emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for coping with overwhelming feelings, recurring conflict, or ongoing stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to identify what feels most useful, and she adjusts methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. The plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats makes it easier to fit counseling into busy days, handle urgent concerns between sessions, or choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. The options aim to increase flexibility and access while keeping the focus on practical, evidence-based work.
