About Kimberly

Kimberly Sylla is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience supporting people across the life span. She earned a Master of Social Work from Temple University with a concentration in Direct Service and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from La Salle University. In addition to her social work training, she has a certification in advanced drug and alcohol counseling and completed legal studies at Temple University Beasley School of Law in 2009.

She has worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, and a variety of vocational, educational, social, and familial stressors. Her practice addresses many specialties such as stress, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, among others.

Kimberly’s therapeutic style is warm, engaging, and non-judgmental, focused on identifying and building each person’s strengths. She uses an integrative approach that draws on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies along with solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, ecological systems perspectives, and trauma-informed care. She aims to meet clients where they are and to form therapeutic alliances rooted in respect and collaboration. Outside of practice she enjoys literature, travel, culture, and spending quality time with her son, and she looks forward to supporting clients as they pursue their goals at a comfortable pace.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and difficulties managing stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their goals and values at their own pace. This approach supports self-discovery and strengthens clients’ sense of agency across many life concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly Sylla collaborates with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to access consistent support from wherever they are within the therapist’s service area.
