About Kimberly

Kimberly Holt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and parenting challenges. She also works with concerns such as codependency, attachment and family of origin issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.

Kimberly uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and patterns that keep someone stuck. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present choices. Sessions often involve talking through relationship dynamics and practical steps to change everyday behavior.

Her background includes work with family systems and eco-systemic family therapy concepts. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how history affects current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when helpful to change thoughts and behavior in the moment.

Kimberly also uses client-centered principles to focus on what matters to each person. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Internal Family Systems ideas may be brought in to help someone understand different parts of themselves.

She mentions personal experience raising two young adults and blending a family, and she uses that lived perspective alongside clinical work. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, with attention to learning new ways of relating and setting boundaries. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps clarify values and goals and supports decision making in stressful relationships or parenting roles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple exercises and behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve coping with daily stress.

Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses guided conversation to find what matters most and to build motivation for small, realistic steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits the person’s goals and preferences. That decision can change as sessions progress and new issues come up.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer a quieter setting with less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and conversational techniques so they work well in remote sessions.
