About Kimberly
Kimberly Lackey is an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Kimberly also supports people facing addiction, relationship strain, and family issues, including family of origin patterns.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective, treating the person rather than a list of symptoms. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when they fit a client's goals.
In the room she helps people name recurring family patterns and see how those patterns affect current choices. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety, grief, and workplace stress. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns and questions about gender and sexuality in straightforward terms.
Kimberly encourages people to notice small changes that build confidence over time. She guides short-term problem-solving work alongside longer conversations about values and life purpose. Coaching-style ideas are offered when clients want concrete plans for action.
Her background spans clinical settings where she supported hospice and end-of-life counseling as well as longer-term counseling for depression and ADHD-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English for people located in North Carolina. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
How Kimberly applies approaches in online work
Kimberly draws on client-centered therapy to focus on each person's perspective and priorities. That approach means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most and building from the client's strengths and goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as brief goal-setting and practical steps to try between meetings, which can be useful for career decisions, relationship concerns, and short-term challenges.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to emphasize based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress or new issues emerge.
