About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Frey, LPCC, is licensed in California and has 20 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Her practice focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving rather than abstract labels.
Kim uses a mix of Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and steps people can try between meetings. She adapts how she talks and plans treatment to fit what each person needs in session.
Kim aims to help people manage anxiety and depression with concrete tools. She helps people address family conflict and communication problems by practicing new ways of talking and setting boundaries. For ADHD and motivation concerns she works on routines and manageable task strategies.
For issues linked to life transitions and attachment, such as abandonment or adoption and foster care histories, she uses trauma-informed techniques alongside skill work. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and aging concerns in focused sessions.
Her approach tends to be straightforward and problem-focused while still allowing space for personal reflection. The emphasis is on what works in daily life - small changes that reduce stress and improve functioning. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and tries practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean combining skill work, thought-focused exercises, and mindful awareness depending on the issue. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy week. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid video; others like longer sessions for deeper work. The emphasis is on finding practical, usable strategies that translate into everyday life rather than on distant theory.03
