About Kimberley
Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, and trauma among other issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Haley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and build clear, practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness work to help with emotion regulation and staying present during difficult moments.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by abuse and trauma, and experience supporting caregivers of people with intellectual or other disabilities. That work informs how she talks about grief, loss, co-parenting stress, and the strain that follows separation or divorce. She also addresses concerns such as addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
In sessions she lays out concrete plans and strategies. Expect straightforward goal-setting, skills practice, and short-term problem solving when that fits the situation. The focus is on identifying problems, trying specific tools, and tracking whether those tools reduce distress in day-to-day life.
People who want direct guidance and clear next steps often find this approach helpful. To begin, follow the site's matching steps to choose online therapy options, complete a brief questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in daily life. Online CBT sessions typically include setting concrete goals, assigning small experiments to try between sessions, and reviewing what worked and what didn’t. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are shown in-session and practiced between meetings to build steadier responses to conflict and stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. It is common to combine short-term problem-solving with skills training and mindfulness, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed together.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can be scheduled around caregiving and work commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice happens between appointments and supports everyday life.
