About Kimberly
Kimberly Harris is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her practice also addresses a wide range of life problems such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, sleep and eating problems, and work or career stresses.
Kimberly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions focus on identifying emotions that are hard to name and on changing patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to teach practical skills for distress tolerance and mood regulation.
In session she listens for how attachment and past relationships shape current reactions. Conversations move between understanding those patterns and trying small, concrete changes to how people relate to themselves and others. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, communication problems, and co-occurring substance or eating concerns.
Her work includes support around ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and recovery from drug or alcohol problems. She also addresses family of origin difficulties, fatherhood topics, and forgiveness work when those topics come up.
Sessions are offered in English and Kimberly accepts clients from outside the United States. Cost varies by location and sessions are managed through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online work
Kimberly commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and respond to powerful emotions and attachment patterns. EFT aims to clarify feelings and reshape repetitive interaction patterns that contribute to distress. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on listening closely to a person’s concerns and building a collaborative relationship that guides the work.She pairs those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to break down unhelpful thoughts and try new behavioral experiments. Together these methods help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with addictions or trauma. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits their needs and goals in a collaborative way.
