About Kimberly

Kimberly Rehak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with trauma, abuse, career strain, parenting questions, ADHD-related concentration concerns, and life changes. Her practice includes support for anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency.

Her way of working is straightforward. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on strengths they already have. Sessions include talking through current problems, clarifying goals, and trying practical steps to improve day-to-day coping. She also addresses sleep, anger, self-esteem, and caregiving stress when those problems affect daily functioning.

Kimberly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means she uses approaches shown to help with trauma, mood, concentration, and behavior. She helps people break down bigger problems into manageable steps and develop habits that support better focus and mood.

She has a long history of working with clients facing substance use and addiction concerns, communication and control issues, body image and eating-related struggles, and family of origin problems. She also offers coaching-style work for people wanting practical strategies for career or life transitions.

Her practice is conducted in English and is based in Pennsylvania. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

How sessions work

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work. One approach she uses focuses on trauma-informed care, which involves helping people name and reduce the impact of past hurt so it interferes less with daily life. This is useful for people who struggle with anxiety, painful memories, or reactivity in relationships.

Another common approach addresses attention and concentration difficulties related to ADHD. That work breaks tasks into smaller steps, builds routines, and practices simple strategies to improve focus and memory. It tends to be practical and goal-oriented, aimed at changing daily habits that get in the way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their current problems, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist review progress and adapt techniques together as therapy continues.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or avoiding long commutes. It can also allow focus on practical skills and homework that translate directly into daily routines.
