About Kimberly

Kimberly Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on clear, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, or life transitions. Kimberly aims to build a strong working relationship so clients feel heard and can make steady progress.

She takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. That means she listens first and tailors the work to each person.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act in line with their values. Kimberly has worked in many settings over a 30-year career and brings that breadth to her counseling. She supports people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and process or substance-related addictions.

Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and challenges related to isolation and midlife change. Sessions can address relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or divorce. She also helps people manage career stress, guilt and shame, and long-term health challenges such as HIV/AIDS or intellectual disability-related stressors.

Based in North Carolina, Kimberly offers therapy in English. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kimberly commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward the life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger.

She treats therapy as a team effort. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and which approaches fit their goals. Kimberly will discuss options and adjust methods over time so the work matches the client's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints to keep momentum.
