About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Carroll is an Arizona psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-003751) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns that affect life at home, including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction, attention difficulties, and mood disorders.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people clarify problems and make practical changes. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practicing different responses. She often starts with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts affect feelings and choices.
Dr. Carroll also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches when useful. That means she helps people notice values, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and steer toward meaningful action. She can introduce skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her work is goal oriented and collaborative. She explains techniques, practices them together with clients, and encourages applying them between sessions. She is open to consulting with other professionals if needed and with a client’s permission.
Her practice history includes many adults and teenagers over two decades. People who are carrying the day-to-day weight of parenting, handling a painful separation, or trying to manage mood and impulsivity often find the sessions useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match your values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, grief, parenting stress, and chronic worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, relationship decisions, and impulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when strong feelings interfere with daily life.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on skills practice, values-based action, or emotion regulation at any given time.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist and client practice skills in the context of daily life, such as working on communication examples that come up between sessions.
