About Kimberly
Kimberly Garrett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people face stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people coping with major life changes. Kimberly works from the belief that clients know their own stories and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions.
She blends practical methods with a warm, person-focused way of working. Sessions aim to name problems clearly and test small changes that can improve day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Kimberly pays attention to how a person’s background and culture shape their experience and decisions. Kimberly uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new ways of responding. She also draws on Systemic Therapy to look at patterns that link relationships and wider life systems.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are added when clients want concrete skills for managing stress and staying on track. Over 14 years of practice, Kimberly has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds on issues like attachment, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and immigration concerns. Her New York LCSW credential signals her clinical training and practice in the state.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations are meant to be practical and to fit into a busy life. Kimberly invites people to take small, achievable steps toward clearer goals and greater well-being.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and life systems affect individual concerns, helping identify patterns and interaction cycles that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathy and support so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss goals and try techniques that fit the client’s needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexible ways to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules while using approaches that focus on skills, relationship patterns, and personal goals.
