About Kimberley

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Haley draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize thinking patterns that feed anger and distress. She uses clear, practical steps to address problems and reduce unhelpful behaviors. She also combines elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and moment-to-moment awareness.

Her background includes long experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse. She has worked with caregivers and with people navigating intellectual or other disabilities in their families. That experience informs how she plans realistic strategies that fit everyday life.

In sessions she focuses on identifying specific problems, setting simple goals, and outlining concrete steps to reach them. Expect a direct, problem-solving tone that still leaves space to talk through what led to the current struggles. Practical tools and short exercises are often part of the work.

Kimberley also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, sexual assault recovery, social anxiety, and postpartum depression. She offers support for multicultural concerns, jealousy, intimacy difficulties, and non-monogamous relationship arrangements. Her approach emphasizes clear plans and measurable changes.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Kimberley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought that fuel anger or anxiety and to practice new responses. CBT focuses on small, testable changes in thinking and behavior that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase awareness of bodily sensations and triggers so moments of rising anger can be noticed earlier and responded to differently.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kimberley will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, comfort level, and life demands. That choice is revisited as progress is made and needs change.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow practice of skills in real-life settings between visits. Therapists can adapt exercises for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what a person needs.
