About Kimberly
Alabama LPC with 16 years of experience, Kimberly Smith helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, and bipolar mood concerns. She works with clients who feel stuck and offers practical steps for moving forward. Sessions focus on learning coping skills and making daily changes that feel achievable.
Kimberly draws on multiple approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses straightforward talk, skill practice, and problem-solving in session. Expect a mix of learning new techniques and reviewing what works in your life.
Her background includes work in rehabilitation counseling, mental health, and substance abuse settings. That experience informed her work with people facing complex needs such as mood disorders, co-occurring substance use, and serious mental health conditions. She also has experience supporting people with chronic illness, chronic pain, and challenges tied to abandonment and codependency.
In sessions she helps people build stress management plans, practice anxiety-reduction tools, and address communication and impulse control problems. She also assists with complicated grief, parenting strain, career-related concerns, and finding life purpose after loss or change. Her approach is practical and aimed at forward movement.
People who prefer direct, skills-based work alongside reflective conversations may find this style helpful. Kimberly asks about immediate goals and daily routines, then uses therapy strategies to shape realistic steps clients can try between sessions.

How Kimberly integrates therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when people are stuck by avoidance or worry and want a clear way to move toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems where changing daily routines and thought patterns helps reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as you learn which methods help most.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists commonly adapt ACT and CBT tools for remote meetings so you can practice skills between sessions and bring those experiences back to the work.
