About Kimberly

Kimberly Taylor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges. Her approach aims to help people manage life changes, cope with trauma or loss, and rebuild confidence.

Kimberly writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s story. She trained at Wayne State University, earning a Master of Arts in Mental Health, School Counseling and Substance Use Counseling in 2008.

Background and approach

Earlier she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Secondary Teaching at the University of Michigan. Those years in schools, community mental health, and substance use settings shaped her practical style. Sessions combine straightforward skills and reflective conversation.

Kimberly uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings. Her work includes elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices for staying present.

She adapts techniques to fit each person rather than following a fixed plan. The aim is useful, doable steps clients can try between sessions. Kimberly has built 13 years of experience as an LPC and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Practical matters like scheduling and session format are set up to match each person’s needs.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits family life

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify values and take actions that match what matters to them even when feelings are hard. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision and adjusts the plan based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options and tries approaches together to see what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options offer flexibility for people juggling parenting, work, or distant time zones and make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Practical tools and homework can be shared across formats so progress continues between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
