Kimberly Lisle , LMHC

Kimberly Lisle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience working with families and young people, particularly those affected by attachment difficulties. She has extensive experience supporting children and adolescents who have experienced removal from their homes, foster care placement, or adoption, and she works closely with caregivers to develop effective parenting strategies for challenging behaviors. Her practice addresses concerns such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, conduct issues, and the aftermath of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Kimberly’s counseling style is direct, goal-oriented, and interactive, and she approaches each person with respect, dignity, and compassion. She integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques together with rational-emotive and psychodynamic perspectives, tailoring session plans and treatment goals to the unique needs of each client. Her work centers on skill-building, improving relationships, and helping families navigate complex transitions with practical, individualized support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly draws on several well-established approaches when working with clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape emotional patterns and behaviors; it helps families and caregivers repair bonds and build more secure connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical, skills-based strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and behavioral issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive environment where clients guide the pace and focus of their work while the therapist provides nonjudgmental reflection and support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients and caregivers to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access regular care from home, work, or wherever is most convenient. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity during life transitions, and make it simpler for families to fit therapy into busy routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
