About Kimberly
Kimberly Stratton brings 20 years of clinical experience to people seeking help with relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She is a licensed social worker with both LMSW and LCSW credentials and works from Michigan to guide clients through stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflicts, and related challenges. Her practice emphasizes growth, improved communication, and recovering a clearer sense of self.
Her style is compassionate and individualized, blending evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs. Kimberly commonly integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while drawing on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s experience and goals.
She also uses EMDR when appropriate to address traumatic memories and employs mindfulness and motivational strategies to support coping and sustained change. Across a broad range of concerns from chronic pain and caregiver stress to eating issues and bipolar mood concerns, she frames treatment as a collaborative process.
Clients work with her to set practical goals, build resilience, and develop skills for managing everyday pressures and deeper emotional wounds.
Evidence-informed approaches for online healing
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships and work. She also employs EMDR for clients working through traumatic memories, using structured processing to reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events. Client-centered principles are woven throughout, creating space for each person’s perspective and priorities while shaping the plan for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns together, then adjust methods as therapy progresses to find what best supports healing and skill development. Clients are encouraged to offer feedback so sessions reflect their needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and let clients engage in therapy in ways that fit daily life while working toward their goals.
