About Kimberly
Kimberly O'Day brings more than 15 years of professional social work experience to her practice in Colorado. After growing up in Iowa and serving in the Army, including time stationed in Germany, she settled in Colorado and built a career in community mental health.
Background and approach
Her background includes volunteer work at an equine rescue and a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, alongside licensure as an LCSW and CSW in Colorado (CO LCSW CSW.09923915). Kimberly uses a collaborative, strengths-based stance that centers the client's own knowledge of their life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and other evidence-informed approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and related challenges. Clients can expect a supportive professional who emphasizes practical coping skills, motivation, and building confidence while honoring each person’s goals.
Her work spans a range of additional focus areas such as blended family issues, communication concerns, codependency, family of origin themes, workplace stress, grief around guilt and forgiveness, multicultural considerations, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Kimberly welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to partner with clients to make meaningful progress.
Approaches and Practical Online Care
Kimberly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for worries, mood concerns, and coping with addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are, supporting self-exploration and personal strengths.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore goals, preferred ways of working, and which methods feel most helpful, adjusting strategies as therapy progresses to best match individual needs and values.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make regular work on goals more accessible and allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environment while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
