About Kimber

Kimber Brokaw welcomes people who are taking the brave step of seeking counseling and recognizes that reaching out is a sign of wanting more for one’s life. She brings deep experience in social work, having spent 25 years serving in non-profit settings and schools, and has spent the last 13 years focused on private clinical practice. Alongside clinical work, Kimber also supports people as a Health and Wellness Coach for clients all over the United States, a path that grew from her own experience managing an autoimmune condition and pursuing more natural approaches to health.

Her guiding mission is to promote freedom through health of body, soul, and spirit — a belief that feeling better supports living better. Kimber specializes in helping people become unstuck by exploring how they are wired and how past wounds shape current patterns. She works with clients to clarify the life they truly want and to build practical steps for aligning their daily choices with that vision. Her therapeutic toolkit blends cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative and psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies, and she frequently uses experiential exercises to move clients from intellectual insight into felt change of the heart.

Kimber looks forward to supporting individuals as they move toward greater health and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Kimber integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative and solution-focused approaches in ways that translate well to virtual settings. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Narrative therapy invites clients to examine and re-author the stories they tell about themselves, which can be especially helpful for life transitions, identity concerns, and processing past wounds. Solution-focused therapy is future-oriented and goal-driven, offering short-term strategies to create immediate change and build forward momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimber collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative stance helps clients test what feels most effective and practical for their life.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy is delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access care from home, during work breaks, or while traveling. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use the format that best supports a client's schedule and communication style while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
