Kimberly Garrett

Kimberly Garrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Kimberly also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and isolation. Her style centers on listening and helping people use their existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. She uses familiar methods like cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to shape those steps. Kimberly pays attention to cultural background and how it affects what people value and how they cope. She talks through communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and family of origin concerns in straightforward terms. When medical or disability stress is present, she helps people find ways to manage symptom impacts on daily life. In the room she works collaboratively to build small, testable changes. That can look like trying a new way of speaking in relationships, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or testing a different routine to reduce anxiety. She often uses client-centered listening first, then borrows tools from other approaches as needed. People who come to her for life-purpose questions or to figure out what comes next will find practical attention to values and next steps. The process emphasizes clear actions, ongoing feedback, and checking what actually works day to day.

How Kimberly blends approaches in online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's perspective first. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows what matters to the client. This approach supports people who feel unsure about their next step by creating space to name priorities and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants concrete practices to shift mood and routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve noticing, which can help with anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts strategies if something isn't helping, keeping the process practical and goal-oriented.

Confirm current session options before booking so you understand how she is offering appointments. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about what works best for your schedule and communication preferences.
