Kimberly Garrett

Kimberly Garrett is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Kimberly emphasizes practical steps and steady support to help clients feel more able to cope.

Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. She focuses on strengths and on small, doable changes that add up over time. She pays attention to how culture shapes experience and makes that part of the conversation.

Kimberly draws on several methods to suit different needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. She incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools help with stress and staying grounded in difficult moments.

She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and find reasons to change. Solution-focused work supports short-term goals and practical next steps. Over her 14 years of practice, Kimberly has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with a range of concerns including attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and commitment issues, and isolation.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Kimberly offers a calm, respectful space to talk through what’s hard and to practice different ways of coping. She aims to help people build confidence and take steps toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist follow a client's lead, ask questions, and reflect back what matters most. This approach helps people clarify values and next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. In remote sessions, CBT work can include tracking patterns between meetings and trying experiments between sessions to see what changes feel useful.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress. These skills are easy to learn in a session and practice between meetings to manage anxiety and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only options if video is difficult or practice mindfulness exercises together during a meeting.
