About Kimberley

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Kimberley draws on two decades of clinical work to offer straightforward guidance and practical steps in therapy.

She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from McGill University and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Kimberley has extensive experience supporting people after abuse and trauma and has focused work with grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and PTSD.

Kimberley has long worked alongside caregivers and family members of people with intellectual and other disabilities. That background informs her approach when someone brings challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or disability-related stress.

In sessions she emphasizes clear goal setting and problem solving. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build workable plans. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are woven in when they help a person notice thoughts and reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Her style is direct and supportive. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and track progress over time. People can expect practical tools, steady feedback, and a focus on improving daily functioning and quality of life.

Step 3

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness inform online care

Kimberley’s practice centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and practical symptom management by teaching concrete skills and homework practice.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT tools help people manage intense feelings and improve responses in relationships without making things worse.

Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work as short practices that increase awareness of thoughts and reduce reactivity. These techniques support coping with stress, chronic pain, and ongoing worry.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. The first sessions are often used to shape a clear, practical plan together.

Please confirm which session formats Kimberley currently offers before scheduling. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which helps transfer what is learned in sessions into everyday life.
