About Kimberly
Kimberly Garrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Kimberly also focuses on challenges like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and isolation.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make sense of what feels stuck. Sessions tend to focus on identifying practical steps, improving communication, and managing overwhelming feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Client-Centered methods keep the person's perspective central while mindfulness techniques help with grounding when emotions run high.
Kimberly draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore what someone wants next and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, doable goals. She pays attention to a client's cultural background as part of understanding their experience. The work aims to connect what someone values to the choices they can start trying now.
In meetings she invites straightforward feedback about what is or isn't working. Progress is tracked by changes in daily routines, relationships, or coping skills rather than abstract promises. People who want support sorting out what matters after a job change, a breakup, a health shift, or other life transition may find focused, practical help.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that increase stress or low mood and to practice different, more helpful responses. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. That approach means conversations reflect what matters most to the client and move at their pace. Mindfulness techniques are added to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean trying a mix of CBT tools, motivational questions, and short solution-focused tasks to see what fits.
