    About Kimberly

    Kimberly O'Day is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience in community mental health. She served in the Army and lived in Germany before settling in Colorado. Kimberly also volunteers at an equine rescue and rehab and holds a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

    She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those coping with addictions and people facing LGBTQ related concerns and self-esteem struggles. Kimberly draws on straightforward, person-centered ways of working and practical skills to help people move forward.

    Kimberly uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to explore readiness for change and build motivation. She combines that with Client-Centered approaches to make space for each person's priorities and with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach concrete tools for mood and behavior management.

    Her work often addresses complicated family of origin issues, blended family concerns, codependency, and communication problems. She also has experience with first responder and veteran and armed forces issues, workplace stress, and post-traumatic stress challenges.

    Kimberly believes people are the experts on their own stories and that small steps add up. She aims to help clients find clarity, boost confidence, and set realistic goals they can act on. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she recognizes the courage it takes to begin.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Kimberly integrates Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their readiness for change and strengthen their own reasons for taking steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and guiding people toward their values and goals.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical skills for mood and behavior management, such as thought records and behavioral experiments.

    Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time based on progress and feedback.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people practice new skills in their everyday routine. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, while adapting exercises and homework to your situation.
