About Kimberly

She speaks plainly and offers straightforward tools to handle daily problems and emotional ups and downs. Dr. Walsh is a Utah licensed psychologist with UT Psychologist 117391-2501 and more than 32 years of experience.

Her work often centers on family and parenting concerns, including behavior management for children and teens and broader family relationship issues.

Background and approach

How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that work well online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and problem-solving in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which techniques to emphasize over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to connect from home, manage scheduling around children, and continue work between visits. The variety of formats supports steady progress while fitting different comfort levels and routines.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
