About Kimberly
Kimberly Ream is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and big life changes. She is an LPC and an LMFT with 14 years of experience and works with clients on issues like burnout, addictions, parenting strain, and codependency.
She offers a calm, straightforward style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and realistic coping skills that fit daily life.
Kimberly uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow what the client brings, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and EMDR for trauma-related distress when appropriate. She also uses Gottman-informed strategies for relationship concerns and existential ideas for questions about meaning and direction.
Her background over 14 years includes supporting people through workplace stress, social anxiety, grief, and recovery from abusive or traumatic experiences. She helps people build self-understanding and stronger boundaries so they can make changes that stick.
Sessions are held with attention to clear goals and steady progress. People who reach out can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space and practical tools to use between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the client brings. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the person’s lead to uncover what matters most and build self-awareness. This approach can help with grief, life transitions, and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. EMDR, when used, offers a structured way to process trauma memories and reduce their emotional intensity for people dealing with past abuse or traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and combine methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative planning helps shape a treatment path that feels practical and realistic.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people check in from quieter surroundings. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, thought records, and guided trauma processing in session in ways that translate well to virtual meetings.
