Dr. Kimberly Walsh

Dr. Kimberly Walsh brings Mindfulness Therapy and practical techniques to help people reduce stress and manage mood. She writes simply and directly, and she focuses on what can change now. Dr. Walsh has worked in Utah for decades and draws on a long clinical background to support people through life’s hard moments.

She uses mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, concrete experiments to test new ways of acting. Sessions aim to teach skills that people can use between meetings.

Dr. Walsh has 32 years of experience in clinical work. Her background includes care for people living with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, and support for those facing depression, anxiety, panic, and grief. She also helps with parenting concerns, family problems, trauma and recovery from abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Her education includes a Doctor of Psychology, a master’s in counseling, and a post-graduate background in neuropsychological assessment and clinical psychopharmacology. She holds the credential UT Psychologist 117391-2501 and practices in Utah.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys cooking and baking, organic gardening, yoga and meditation, and time with companion animals. Those interests inform a practical, grounded approach in sessions that aims to fit into a busy life.

Mindfulness and CBT approaches for online care

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without reacting automatically. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems with mood by teaching simple awareness practices and grounding exercises that people can use during hard moments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through small experiments. It is practical and goal-oriented, and it often includes worksheets or short between-session tasks to try new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or mix of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include discussion and practical exercises chosen with the client’s input.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit daily routines and personal goals.
