Kimberly Giliberti , LMHC

Kimberly Giliberti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who blends structured, evidence-based methods with practical flexibility to meet each client's needs. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and completed graduate studies at Nova Southeastern University, receiving a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology. Her clinical training includes certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - and she integrates that work with cognitive behavioral approaches when appropriate.

Kimberly tends to use a cognitive behavioral framework that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, but she adapts her style session by session to fit the concerns presented. She has applied EMDR successfully with adults facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and complicated grief. Kimberly brings experience supporting adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, negative self-talk, personality-related challenges, low self-esteem, grief work, future planning, and family or marriage difficulties.

Located in Florida, Kimberly offers a collaborative, practical approach aimed at building coping skills, improving relationships, and helping clients move toward clearer goals and healthier patterns of living.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by helping clients develop coping skills and clearer problem-solving habits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach designed to help process difficult or traumatic memories by combining guided recall with specific bilateral stimulation. It is frequently used for symptoms related to trauma, post-traumatic stress, and complicated grief, and can reduce the intensity of distressing memories over a course of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors methods so therapy feels like a fit. She may combine elements of CBT and EMDR or adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and therapists can also connect through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to schedule care, maintain continuity, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel.
