    About Kimberly

    Kimberly Holt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and family conflict. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on helping people feel heard and respected.

    Kimberly aims to build a strong, mutual relationship with each person she sees. She emphasizes identifying strengths, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and exploring how past experiences shape today’s choices. She describes her role as empowering and supportive while also teaching practical ways to cope.

    Her experience includes work with blended families and the stresses that come with caregiving, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and pain, forgiveness, and family of origin issues.

    Clinically, Kimberly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor care to each person. She pays attention to how relationships and family systems affect feelings and behavior.

    Kimberly speaks from both professional and personal experience; she has raised two young adults and understands the strain of blending a family. She welcomes people who want practical ways to change patterns and strengthen relationships, and she supports each step toward healing.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and online support

    Kimberly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to change. This approach focuses on gentle questions and collaboration to build motivation, which can be useful for goals like improving relationships, managing mood, or tackling difficult habits.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s experience and emphasizes being heard and respected in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another method she draws on to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

    If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join therapy without travel time. Talk with Kimberly about what will fit your routine and goals so you can find a workable plan.
