About Kimberly
Kimberly Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strains, and major life transitions. Her style is straightforward and warm so parents can talk about what’s happening without judgment.
She often focuses on communication problems, blended family issues, commitment and control concerns, and fatherhood issues. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem.
Background and approach
Kimberly works with people navigating midlife change, career decisions, and the stress that comes with caring roles. Her approach mixes practical skills with deeper reflection. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
She adds Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotions or relationship volatility make daily life hard. The Gottman Method informs her work with couple dynamics and communication patterns. Sessions center on clear goals and small steps that can fit into a busy life.
She helps parents and partners build better conversations and routines. When needed, she brings mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and steady themselves during change. Kimberly practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.
She supports people dealing with a range of relationship and personal challenges, including work on parenting concerns and family-of-origin patterns. Her aim is to help clients feel more capable and connected in their daily lives.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is practical and action focused, and it often helps with panic, depression, and stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when feelings become intense or relationships are volatile. DBT skills support calmer reactions and steadier communication. The Gottman Method influences work on couple communication and problem solving by focusing on patterns and building specific conversation skills.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods that match the person's situation and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support around work or childcare. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy family schedule.
