About Kimberly
Kimberly Laborde is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD. Kimberly aims to make therapy approachable and clear for anyone who feels overwhelmed by these problems.
Kimberly takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try different coping skills, and build routines that reduce stress over time.
Background and approach
She emphasizes skill-building alongside emotional processing. That means learning tools you can use between sessions, plus space to talk through painful experiences when they come up. The emphasis is on small, usable changes rather than abstract theory.
Kimberly describes her practice as supportive and non-judgmental. She works at a pace each person can handle and adjusts methods based on how someone responds. Over time the work is aimed at increasing resilience and clearer day-to-day functioning.
Because she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, sessions combine real-world strategies with attention to personal history. People leave with concrete steps they can apply right away to feel steadier and more in control.
How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy
Many of Kimberly's sessions draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life change. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing work, grounding methods, and step-by-step planning to reduce overwhelm. These skills are useful for day-to-day symptoms and can be practiced between sessions.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that balances emotional processing with safety and pacing. This approach helps people name the impact of difficult experiences, learn ways to reduce reactivity, and build routines that support recovery. These methods are aimed at steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as someone makes progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation, phone can be a good low-bandwidth option, and chat or text works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets in the way.
