About Kimberly

Kimberly Lackey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people facing career challenges, relationship and intimacy questions, and struggles with motivation or self-esteem.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Kimberly treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps that fit day-to-day life and the goals the person brings to therapy. She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking, set small realistic goals, and find clearer solutions. That can mean learning new ways to manage anxious moments, rebuilding confidence after a loss, or planning steps toward a career change.

The work tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Kimberly also brings experience with addictions, family of origin issues, codependency, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace concerns. She pays attention to how past patterns affect current relationships and choices, and helps people try different responses.

People who choose Kimberly often want practical tools and honest conversation. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and helps clients notice small changes that lead to bigger shifts over time.

How Kimberly's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person first and foremost. It focuses on the client’s goals and builds on strengths to encourage clearer decision making and self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought patterns that increase stress or sadness and then try different ways of thinking and acting. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and changing day-to-day habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds small, practical steps toward clearer results. This approach is useful for people who want concrete actions and quick ways to test change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan as progress is made, combining techniques when helpful.

Online sessions can make regular therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people keep face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief updates or flexibility during busy days. These options help people stay consistent with sessions and access care from different places and schedules.
