About Kimberley

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers her practice on cognitive behavioral principles to help clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and build practical strategies for change.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical experience, she blends structured problem-solving with compassionate support to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, and relationship concerns. Her work also encompasses grief, parenting challenges, intimacy-related difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.

She has additional focus in areas including ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain and illness, intellectual disability, fertility-related stress, and multicultural concerns. Kimberley brings experience supporting people affected by obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, postpartum depression, sexual assault and abuse, and sexual dysfunction, and she is comfortable addressing non-monogamous relationship dynamics and polyamory.

Based in Massachusetts, she practices with an orientation toward clear goals and measurable steps, offering a collaborative space where clients can explore narratives, build new skills, and work toward better functioning and greater resilience.

Structured therapeutic approaches delivered online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be helpful for intense emotional reactions, relationship challenges, and managing strong urges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance practices that often complement cognitive and behavioral work by reducing reactivity and supporting stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley works with each person to clarify goals, explore what feels most useful, and combine methods when that best serves the client’s needs and preferences. She aims to tailor a plan that balances practical skills with exploration of personal narratives so clients can see measurable progress while deepening self-understanding.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, goal-oriented work in ways that suit client preferences.
