About Kimber
Kimber Brokaw is an LCSW and LISW with 16 years of clinical experience who helps people move past patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches to explore how a person is wired, how early wounds influence present choices, and practical steps to build a more aligned life. Kimber integrates cognitive behavioral principles alongside narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and stories, understand underlying emotions, and experiment with new ways of responding.
Her style emphasizes experiential work and practical exercises designed to shift insight into change, with attention to whole-person wellbeing including body, mind, and spirit. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career and workplace challenges, caregiver stress, and coping with life transitions.
Kimber aims to collaborate with each client to discover values-driven goals and concrete strategies that support lasting movement toward a fuller life.
Online approaches that combine thought, story, and action
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently in stressful situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings, which can help with stress regulation, rumination, and emotional reactivity. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, highlighting strengths and opening new possibilities for identity and purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimber works with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust strategies based on what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, reflective exploration, experiential exercises, or a mix of methods tailored to the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow for a range of therapeutic activities from brief coaching-style check-ins to longer, in-depth sessions.
