Kimberly O'Day

Kimberly O'Day is a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of social work experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, self-esteem and questions about life purpose. She trained and served in the U.S. Army and lived in Germany before settling in Colorado. That background informs how she listens and responds to people coming from varied life paths. She also volunteers at an equine rescue and rehab and holds a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. In sessions she takes a straightforward, client-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are mixed in when helpful. Motivational interviewing is another method she uses to help people find momentum and make changes they want. For someone stuck at work, wrestling with addiction, or rethinking what comes next, she helps identify small steps and clearer priorities. Kimberly has worked mainly in community mental health settings. She brings 15 years of experience helping people with mood concerns, family-of-origin issues, workplace stress, first responder and veteran issues, and multicultural needs. Her style is direct and grounded, aimed at helping people make usable changes in their daily lives.

How Kimberly Uses Talk Therapy Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It emphasizes the client's experience and builds on existing strengths to set goals and make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical exercises and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and address unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and communication skills. It can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships and boundaries are a struggle.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with clients to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. She will adjust tools and pacing based on what a person prefers and what proves useful in real life.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't practical. The focus remains on applying practical skills and steps that can be used between sessions.
