About Kimberly
Kimberly Mullaney helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and attention or concentration problems. She draws on 28 years of experience and meets people where they are. Her approach is respectful and compassionate.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage up front. In sessions she listens first, then works with each person to build a simple plan that fits their life.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical skills that reduce panic, lift low mood, ease anxious thoughts, and improve focus. For eating and body-image concerns the work includes examining habits and gently changing daily routines. Kimberly tailors pacing and goals to each person.
She pays attention to how past hurts still affect day-to-day choices, especially with post-traumatic stress, abandonment issues, guilt, or shame. She also helps people manage caregiver stress, divorce-related strain, and questions about life purpose. Her style is direct and compassionate.
She aims to make sessions useful from the first visit, with clear steps to practice between meetings. Over time the focus shifts toward lasting changes in behavior and thinking. Kimberly holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC.
She practices in Maryland and offers a range of session formats to fit different schedules.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kimberly uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing and grounding strategies, gradual exposure to feared situations, and steps to interrupt runaway thoughts. This kind of work helps when worry or panic get in the way of daily life.She also works with methods that address mood and trauma by looking at how past events shape current patterns. That work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing different ways to respond, and building routines that support steadier mood and better sleep. For eating and body-image concerns the approach combines behavior changes and self-compassion exercises to shift habits over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or short skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay consistent with care.
