Kimberly Holt

Kimberly Holt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and family problems. Kimberly also focuses on topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

Her approach centers on building a respectful working relationship. She helps people identify strengths, notice repeated patterns, and understand how the past affects current choices. Sessions combine listening with practical tools and gentle challenge when helpful.

Kimberly uses a mix of well-known approaches to guide work in the room. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Psychodynamic ideas to trace recurring relational patterns. Internal Family Systems and Motivational Interviewing also inform how she talks about internal parts and supports change.

She has direct experience with blended families and parenting, and has raised two children to adulthood herself. That background influences how she discusses family roles, expectations, and communication during sessions.

People who meet with Kimberly can expect a steady, practical style. She listens, offers observations, and suggests steps that can be tried between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking about what matters next and manageable changes in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person in front of her and reflecting back what she hears. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood before planning next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and everyday coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a brief conversational method that supports people in weighing their options and finding internal reasons to change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kimberly will work with each person to decide whether more CBT work, exploration of past patterns, or motivational conversations fit their goals. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep therapy accessible while matching methods to what the client hopes to address.
