About Kimberley

Kimberley Hardy offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes.

How Kimberley works

The work is collaborative - the person and therapist set goals together. With 15 years of experience, Kimberley draws on a wide range of clinical work to shape each plan. She pays attention to how stress shows up in relationships, self-esteem, and women's life transitions.

Compassion fatigue, panic, and mood disorders are other areas she commonly addresses. Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing panic attacks, reducing rumination, and improving communication. Kimberley helps people practice tools between meetings so progress continues outside the session.

The emphasis is on skills that feel relevant and usable in everyday situations. Kimberley is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC. She practices in Virginia and holds a straightforward, empathetic style that many find grounding and encouraging.

Online support options

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps clients identify their values and take small, meaningful steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberley works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. She may blend ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill teaching, while phone sessions can fit a short break from work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, practice reminders, or brief coaching between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
