About Kimberly

Kimberly Williams is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings six years of practical experience to therapy. She focuses on helping people build confidence and face life changes with more skill and clarity.

She centers sessions on the client’s own story and strengths. Kimberly uses straightforward methods to help people notice what is working and what needs to change. She encourages practical steps so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. She also helps people navigate relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, addiction, and challenges connected to ADHD and caregiver stress. Additional areas she supports include chronic pain or illness, communication problems, and questions related to gender and sexuality.

Kimberly draws on Mindfulness Therapy and client-centered approaches to keep the focus on present moment awareness and the person’s goals. She may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies for skill-building and changing patterns of thought and behavior. Motivational Interviewing can help when clients want to strengthen motivation for change.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to leave people with clear tools and small experiments they can use between meetings. Kimberly invites those ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching process and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kimberly often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their present-moment thoughts and bodily responses; this can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the person’s goals and lived experience, letting the therapist follow the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss goals and preferences and then co-create an approach that fits the person on a session-by-session basis. The goal is collaboration so techniques match what the person finds most useful.

Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to practice mindfulness and behavioral experiments in everyday settings, then bring observations back to sessions for discussion.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
