About Kimberly
Kimberly Garrett is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She focuses on boosting self-esteem and supporting those coping with life changes. Kimberly uses clear, down-to-earth language to make therapy feel manageable and real.
Her style centers on listening and building on each person's strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and works together with them to set practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with space to process feelings and practice new ways of coping. Kimberly draws from several approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These tools are used in simple, concrete ways - for example, spotting patterns that increase anxiety or trying short experiments to test unhelpful beliefs.
She also pays attention to background and culture as part of understanding a person's experience. That can mean talking about family of origin, immigration stress, or pressures from caregiving and chronic health issues. The work often addresses isolation, attachment concerns, and body image in everyday terms.
Therapy with Kimberly aims to help people feel steadier and more able to face challenges. She supports practical changes and helps build skills people can use between sessions. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she offers steady, respectful support through that process.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead, helping people feel heard and understood while deciding what changes they want. It works well for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship stress, and feeling stuck.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to bring attention to the present moment, which can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation during stressful times.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try strategies together. That collaborative process can include mixing methods so sessions match what a person needs in the moment.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face to face from wherever they are, phone calls are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, chat can be convenient for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
