About Kimberly

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of experience, Kimberly Lackey focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD. She works with people facing codependency and family-of-origin issues, and also addresses gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, life purpose, self-love, sexuality, women’s issues, and workplace problems. Kimberly practices in English and is not taking international clients.

Kimberly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. Sessions aim to identify practical steps, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and build on clients' own strengths. She treats the person seated across from her as the expert on their own life and helps them apply skills that fit daily routines.

Her style centers on clear goals and manageable actions. That can mean working on short-term problem solving, practicing new thought patterns, or setting concrete behavior changes. Work on grief, motivation, or relationship concerns typically blends emotional processing with practical tools.

Kimberly draws on a long history of clinical work to guide decisions about what to try next. She encourages small, testable changes and checks in about how those changes are working. This approach aims to make therapy feel like a sequence of steps rather than an open-ended project.

For people considering a first session, she asks for a brief intake to match goals to methods. The intake helps clarify whether CBT exercises, client-centered listening, or solution-focused tasks will come first. Those who choose to proceed are asked to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places attention on the person’s perspective and values. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify the client’s own goals. It suits people who want a supportive conversational approach and to lead the pace of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online CBT often includes homework between sessions such as tracking moods, testing new behaviors, or practicing specific coping strategies. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and attainable goals. Sessions are brief and goal-directed, with an emphasis on what works now and what small steps move a person toward their objective.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That discussion can lead to a mix of listening, CBT exercises, or solution-focused tasks.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often adapt exercises and homework to suit a client’s everyday life.
