Kimberly Holt, LPC

Kimberly Holt is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and parenting concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Kimberly listens carefully and works to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard.

Her approach focuses on identifying strengths and spotting patterns that get in the way of daily life. She pays attention to how past experiences influence current decisions and relationships. This helps people see small shifts that lead to better coping and clearer choices.

Kimberly uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. She also draws on motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems to tailor work to each person. Sessions mix problem-solving with gentle reflection so clients both act differently and understand why.

She understands family life from lived experience, including raising two young adults and navigating blended family dynamics. That perspective informs how she talks about parenting stress, caregiving strain, and communication problems.

Kimberly supports people working through adoption or foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and forgiveness. She also addresses disruptions like divorce, separation, and mood regulation challenges.

People who choose her often want practical tools and clear guidance backed by long experience. Her goal is to empower, support, and teach so clients can build sustainable changes that fit their life.

How Kimberly blends familiar approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting atmosphere where the person's pace and priorities guide each session. It helps people feel respected and encourages honest talk about what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Motivational interviewing aims to boost a person's own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and highlighting personal reasons to act.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and talk in depth. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, keeping momentum, or handling issues between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can work around work, family, and caregiving demands.
