Kimberley Haley, LMHC

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Kimberley draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

She has a master's degree in mental health counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston and a background in clinical psychology from McGill University. Over many years she has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and those coping with post-traumatic stress. That experience shapes how she listens and plans treatment.

Kimberley also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. She has helped caregivers and people connected to intellectual or developmental disabilities navigate family problems and the stress that comes with long-term care roles.

Her approach emphasizes identifying specific problems and creating clear, manageable plans to address them. Sessions often combine CBT-focused skills with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping tools and reduce distress. Narrative therapy ideas are used when people want to reframe their life story.

Clients can expect short-term goals alongside work on longer-term patterns. Kimberley prioritizes straightforward feedback and practical strategies so people leave sessions with concrete steps. She aims to make therapy an accessible, down-to-earth process for anyone seeking help with life changes and strong emotions.

How CBT and DBT Shape Online Care

Kimberley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and worry. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with strong urges or sudden crises.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kimberley works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts plans over time, combining CBT exercises, DBT skills, or solution-focused tasks depending on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
