Kimberly Giliberti , LMHC

Kimberly Giliberti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with training in both clinical and school psychology. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and completed a Master of Science in Psychology as well as a Specialist degree in School Psychology from Nova Southeastern University. As an LMHC she brings formal education and clinical training to her counseling work, combining evidence-based techniques with a practical, person-centered focus.

Her therapeutic style is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but she adapts her approach to meet the changing needs of each session and each person. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has applied EMDR with adults coping with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and grief.

Kimberly has experience working with adolescents and adults on a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, negative self-talk, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, grief, future planning, and family or marriage problems. Her interventions emphasize practical skills, collaborative planning, and tailoring treatment to individual goals and life circumstances.

CBT, EMDR, and Flexible Online Care

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and day-to-day stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to produce measurable improvements in functioning and coping.

She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach that addresses distressing memories and the symptoms that follow trauma or significant loss. EMDR can be a useful option for people experiencing post-traumatic stress, complicated grief, or persistent anxiety related to past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively in a remote format, and Kimberly adapts techniques to fit online care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and increase access for those who prefer remote care.
