About Kimberli
Her style is client-centered. That means she adapts to each person's needs and works at a pace that fits them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She partners with clients and, when appropriate, family members to set realistic goals and build skills for everyday life.
Patrick's background spans 32 years in a range of settings. She has worked in inpatient adolescent substance treatment, community mental health, school-based counseling, in-home therapy, group programs, and private practice. That variety informs a flexible approach to different kinds of problems and life stages.
In sessions she aims to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Conversations are straightforward and oriented toward what people want to change or manage. She helps clients break problems into smaller parts and practice new ways of responding.
People who choose her often want a steady guide while they work through transitions, parenting demands, or the effects of trauma, addiction, or family conflict. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches that guide online work and matching care
Many of her sessions draw on client-centered methods that focus on the person's goals and preferences. This approach emphasizes listening, adapting to each person's pace, and helping them practice small, useful changes between sessions. It suits people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, or ongoing stress.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, and relationship problems. These techniques typically teach coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to break large problems into manageable steps. They aim to give people tools they can use day to day rather than relying on abstract explanations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and situation. That shared decision-making helps shape sessions and any homework or practice between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to participate when in-person visits would be difficult, though specific formats should be verified ahead of time.
