About Kimberly
Kimberly Murrell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, eating concerns, trauma, or depression. She speaks plainly and creates a calm space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. Kimberly is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with three years of professional experience.
Her work focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She often supports people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and big life changes.
How Kimberly works
She also pays attention to patterns such as avoidant personality traits, control issues, and obsessive thoughts that get in the way of daily life. Kimberly listens for the feelings behind a person’s behaviors and helps them name those feelings. Together they look at small, realistic changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
She approaches difficult topics like trauma, eating and food-related issues, fertility concerns, and guilt with straightforward care. Sessions are a chance to try new ways of coping and communication. Kimberly encourages people to practice skills between appointments and to notice what helps.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable, one step at a time. People come to Kimberly to sort through painful memories, break unhelpful patterns, and build more self-compassion. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on real-life tools for day-to-day challenges.

Approaches that guide online care
Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use right away. One approach emphasizes identifying and naming difficult thoughts and feelings so they feel less overwhelming; this helps with anxiety, obsessive thinking, and low mood. Another approach looks at behavior patterns and small habit changes to reduce symptoms and improve routine functioning, which is useful for eating-related concerns, depression, and daily stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn't worked before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video visits work well when people want face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier. These options make appointments more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent around work and family obligations.
