Kimberli Patrick, LPC

Kimberli Patrick is a licensed professional counselor with decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She offers a calm, respectful presence and adapts her approach to fit each person. Her practice focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel more in control.

Her style is client-centered and flexible. She listens first, then works with people to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building coping skills, and practicing everyday habits that support better thinking and behavior. Kimberli aims to make sessions comfortable and nonjudgmental.

Kimberli has worked in many settings across her 32-year career. That includes inpatient adolescent substance treatment, community mental health, school-based counseling, in-home therapy, group work, and private practice. Those roles shaped a broad understanding of common life stresses and family dynamics.

She has experience helping people affected by addiction, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and family of origin problems. She also has worked with people dealing with abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and cancer-related challenges.

In sessions she partners with clients and, when appropriate, their family members to pursue personal goals. Her aim is to help people manage life on life’s terms by practicing small, sustainable changes. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage that requires.

How evidence-based techniques and online care fit together

Many of Kimberli's methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that change thinking and daily habits. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with simple behavioral experiments to see what actually works. This is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing attention differences.

Another frequent focus is building routine coping skills. That includes short exercises for calming, structuring the day, and small habit changes that reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. These techniques aim to give people concrete tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberli collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people practice new habits in their everyday environment and bring real-life examples straight into sessions.
