About Kimball

Dr. Kimball Pier is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 30 years of clinical experience across a variety of care settings. She focuses on supporting people through major life transitions and the intense emotions that often accompany significant losses and change. With specialized training in trauma healing, Dr. Pier works with clients affected by family and historical trauma, substance use disorders, and depression, combining years of experience in relationship work, abuse and trauma recovery, grief support, and conflict resolution through mediation.

She has extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate divorce, create parenting plans, and manage co-parenting after separation, as well as addressing the complexities of blended family life. Dr. Pier brings a practice grounded in respect, humility, sensitivity, and compassion, and she invites clients to share their stories as paths to new perspectives and deeper self-understanding. Her approach centers on practical guidance and emotional support for those facing loss, shifting family dynamics, and the long-term effects of trauma.

Attachment and Somatic-Informed Online Relationship Work

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections, helping clients understand attachment styles and learn new ways of relating to partners and family members. The Gottman Method focuses on practical communication skills and conflict management for couples, offering structured tools to strengthen trust and problem-solving. Somatic Therapy pays attention to how the body holds stress and trauma, using mindful awareness of bodily sensations to help process difficult emotions and reduce physical tension.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dr. Pier collaborates with each client to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment fits the person rather than forcing a preset model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of treatment and make it simpler for clients to access therapists when life changes or travel make in-person visits difficult.
