Dr. Kimberly Kerksiek

She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. Her style is warm and collaborative, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions follow a client-centered pace, with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also integrates Gottman Method principles when relationship patterns are a central concern, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Clients can expect clear goals and steady progress.

The therapist works to build safety in the room and to help people identify small, realistic changes that lead to better daily functioning. Conversations often include simple skill practice, communication exercises, and homework that fits busy lives.

Dr. Kerksiek has worked in both independent practice and community settings.

That breadth of experience informs a flexible approach to different life situations, from addiction recovery to caregiving strain. Her LMFT credential means she completed professional clinical training and licensing in marriage and family therapy.

She conducts sessions in English and provides video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
