About Kimberley
Kimberley Kershaw is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood swings, or depression. Kimberley makes taking the first step less intimidating by offering steady support and clear guidance.
She focuses on practical work in sessions. That includes talking through what is happening now, spotting patterns that make things harder, and trying tools that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Kimberley works
Sessions are conversational and aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time. Kimberley uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and respond to each person as an individual. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new ways of coping.
These approaches guide how she structures sessions and homework between meetings. People come to her for help with coping through life changes, managing impulsivity, and working on communication or control issues. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, bipolar mood shifts, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.
The focus is on clear goals and practical next steps. Throughout her work Kimberley keeps the tone calm and direct. She encourages self-compassion and steady progress.
Her aim is to help people build confidence and routines that improve day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and meeting each person where they are. In an online session that looks like open conversation, reflective responses, and tailoring the pace to what feels manageable. It is useful for people who need acceptance and understanding as they sort through stress or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how someone feels. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and practical experiments to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberley will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize listening and support or more skills and practice.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or choose shorter, more frequent contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on progress and everyday strategies.
