About Kimberly
Kimberly Harris is an Illinois LCPC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns such as depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and self-esteem struggles.
She speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on clear goals. Conversations focus on what the person is struggling with now and practical steps they can try between meetings. Her work includes attention to eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Kimberly uses a mix of well-known approaches to fit the person she is seeing. She draws on client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense emotions.
People who come for help with abandonment, attachment, control issues, or family of origin problems will find these topics included in sessions when they are relevant. She also addresses substance use concerns and co-occurring problems like eating and food-related issues alongside mood concerns.
Sessions balance short-term strategies and longer-term work on patterns that cause shame or guilt. Kimberly asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests concrete skills to practice. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How Kimberly combines approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions focus on what the client brings to the room and on building a straightforward plan that reflects their goals. This approach helps when shame or guilt make it hard to speak up or to know where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep shame and guilt active. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and patterns tied to family or relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That means adjusting pace, focusing on skills, or spending more time on emotional processing as needed.

Licensed professionals often combine conversation, brief skill practice, and homework that fits everyday routines.
