About Kimberli
Kimberli Patrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than three decades of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and major life changes. Her manner is calm and personable, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents.
She uses a client-centered style that adapts to each person's needs and preferences. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual, and practical steps are chosen together.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, communication practice, and ways to handle strong emotions. Her background spans many settings, including inpatient substance treatment for adolescents, community mental health, school-based counseling, in-home therapy, group work, and independent practice. This variety informs a down-to-earth approach to common life problems.
She has worked with substance use and mental health groups as well as families and individuals. Kimberli describes her work as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. She aims to create an inviting space where a parent or caregiver can set goals and feel more able to manage day-to-day demands.
Conversations are aimed at building skills that can be used outside sessions. Practical concerns like communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, divorce, and coping after illness or disaster are part of her focus. She helps people identify manageable steps, practice new responses, and track small changes over time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on present-day skills and clear strategies. A client-centered approach puts the person's goals first and adapts techniques to their needs, helping with stress, parenting challenges, and relationship difficulties by focusing on what is most useful in daily life. Brief skills coaching emphasizes concrete tools - such as anxiety management exercises, communication practice, and routines for ADHD - that people can try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's schedule and priorities rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing new interactions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days for quick support or check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
