About Kimberly
Kimberly O'Day is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with 15 years of social work experience. She draws on a long career in community mental health to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and issues tied to identity and self-worth.
She served in the Army and lived in Germany before settling in Colorado. Her background includes volunteer work at an equine rescue and a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Kimberly uses life experience and practical skills to connect with people navigating hard feelings and difficult choices.
In sessions she emphasizes straightforward conversation about what matters to the client. She treats people as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. That can mean learning new coping skills, changing thought patterns that feed guilt or shame, or finding clearer ways to communicate with others.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to address mood problems, addictive behaviors, workplace stress, and trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress.
Kimberly also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, and questions around life purpose and forgiveness. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might look.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps when someone needs a reflective conversation to sort through guilt, shame, or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical steps to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly plans to work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what is or isn't helpful.
The therapist's biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter phone check-in can work on a lunch break, or a video session lets someone connect without traveling. The focus is on practical ways to bring therapy into everyday routines while using agreed-upon approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and CBT.
