About Kimberly

Kimberly Law is a licensed mental health counselor with 19 years of experience in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. She offers straightforward support for common parenting and family stresses, and for the everyday pressures that pile up until they interfere with routines and relationships.

She keeps the first conversations simple and practical so worried parents can focus on what to do next.

Background and approach

Her sessions are calm and down-to-earth. She listens first, and then helps identify patterns that make life harder. Together with each client she teaches coping skills for panic, anger, or low self-esteem and ways to improve communication and daily functioning.

Her style is collaborative - she works with people to set goals and try concrete strategies between sessions. Kimberly draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build skills and change stressful habits. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people feel more grounded and better able to manage strong emotions.

For trauma-related concerns she can incorporate EMDR when appropriate. Sessions can include talking through one problem, working on a behavior plan, or practicing new ways to respond in tense moments. She explains techniques in plain language and focuses on what parents and caregivers can use immediately at home.

Her aim is to help people regain stability, clearer thinking, and more effective coping. Kimberly holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, FL LMHC MH17889. She provides services in English and practices from a strengths-based perspective.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when stress or family tensions make it hard to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, panic, or mood problems through small, planned changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practices, DBT strategies, or another method, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for busy family schedules. Video lets people work through exercises face-to-face, while phone and messaging options can fit short check-ins or when in-person time is difficult. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, and household demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
