About Kimberly

Kimberly "Kim" Frey is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflict, and depression. She greets new clients with respect and compassion and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

Kim keeps conversations practical and focused on the issues you bring. She listens first, then helps people set clear, doable goals. Sessions are shaped to match each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

With 20 years of professional experience, Kim draws on several well-known approaches to guide her work. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are included when they fit a client's goals, offering simple tools for stress and mood management. Dialectical behavior techniques can be added to teach skills for emotion regulation and effective communication.

Kim aims to make therapy feel collaborative and straightforward. She will work with each person to build a plan that fits daily life, step by step. Taking the first appointment is framed as a brave move, and she acknowledges that starting is often the hardest part.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Kim’s approaches fit into online therapy

Kim often uses client-centered work to follow whatever matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening carefully and building sessions around the client’s priorities, which can help people feel heard and understood during remote meetings.

She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete strategies to break unhelpful patterns and is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress management in an online setting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as the work progresses. Together they decide which tools and exercises will best fit daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work through practical skills and take-home exercises between meetings, helping therapy connect to everyday routines.
