About Kimberly

Kimberly Garrett is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people managing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings 14 years of professional experience to her work and centers clients' strengths and personal knowledge in the therapeutic process. Kimberly emphasizes the role of cultural context in shaping experience and explores how background and identity influence healing and change.

Her approach blends practical, goal-oriented strategies with empathy and collaboration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients identify patterns, develop coping skills, and build resilience.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods also shape her sessions when clients are exploring values, making decisions, or pursuing concrete changes. Kimberly aims to create a supportive environment that honors each person’s perspective while offering structured tools for improving mood, communication, and everyday functioning.

She encourages hopeful, realistic steps toward a more satisfying life and partners with clients to tailor interventions that match their needs and preferences.

Approaches that guide online care and progress

Kimberly commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and problematic habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person's goals and values so the work reflects what matters most to the client. Mindfulness Therapy appears in her practice as well, teaching attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and persistent emotions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Kimberly works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to match what proves most helpful in sessions and daily life.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances and allow clients to practice skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
