About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Walsh is a psychologist based in Utah who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. She uses clear, practical strategies to help clients make changes and feel better in daily life.
Dr. Walsh brings three decades of experience to sessions and aims to keep therapy straightforward and useful. She favors approaches that teach skills people can use right away.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices support noticing feelings and reducing reactivity. Together these approaches are used to address depression, panic, bipolar mood patterns, grief, and trauma responses. Parents often seek her help for behavior management, communication problems, and the stress that comes with raising children.
She also works with individuals facing life transitions, career stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship difficulties rooted in family of origin issues. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, aging concerns, and problems with control, guilt, or shame. Dr.
Walsh earned a Doctor of Psychology with a clinical focus and holds the credential UT Psychologist 117391-2501. Her training includes neuropsychological assessment and clinical psychopharmacology at the postdoctoral level. She writes and speaks about practical tools that support daily functioning.
Outside of work she enjoys cooking and baking, organic gardening, yoga, kickboxing, and meditation. These personal interests inform a balanced, lifestyle-minded approach to care.

CBT and Mindfulness for online parenting and life changes
Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is goal-oriented and works well for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and parenting strategies where specific skills and plans matter.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. Mindfulness can help with stress, grief, and chronic patterns like rumination or anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges together to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or a mix suits the situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting demands, career stress, or mood concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for hands-on skills and face-to-face check-ins. Phone sessions can fit a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping tools, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a changing routine.
