Kimberly Taylor , LPC

Kimberly Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayne State University (2008) and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Secondary Teaching from the University of Michigan (2000). With 13 years of clinical experience, she works with adults, adolescents, and families on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. She also addresses focused issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family adjustments, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional effects of natural or human-caused disasters.

Kimberly brings experience from diverse settings - community mental health, substance use facilities, schools, Spanish-speaking agencies, refugee shelters, integrative health clinics, and private practice - and draws on her background as a K-12 school counselor to relate to pre-teens and adolescents. She integrates a range of clinical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential perspectives, trauma-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and holistic mind-body-spirit methods to create individualized treatment plans. As a practitioner who identifies as a wounded healer, she aims to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and accepted regardless of race, sexuality, or religion. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills, emotional insight, and collaborative goal-setting to help clients navigate change and build resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior changes - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit best. Kimberly tailors recommendations to a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so the client and therapist can find the most effective path together.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility to meet people where they are. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support without geographic barriers.
