About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Carroll is an Arizona psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-003751) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and career-related stress. Sessions are practical and focused on helping people manage upsetting emotions and make clearer choices.
She writes plainly in session and favors therapies that link thoughts, feelings, and actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent base of her work. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test those thoughts, and try different behaviors to see what actually works in daily life.
Dr. Carroll also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they fit a client's goals. These approaches add skills for handling strong emotions, staying present, and taking values-driven steps. She encourages skills people can keep using after sessions end.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She invites feedback and will consult with other professionals if progress stalls and the client agrees. Her aim is to help clients make decisions that reflect their values rather than reactive patterns.
Dr. Carroll trained in psychology and has provided care across many settings since receiving her doctorate in 2002 and licensure in 2005. Her work with adults emphasizes practical techniques for coping with life changes, impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
Clients can expect clear explanations of methods, short-term tools like CBT techniques, and ongoing skill-building for emotion regulation and communication.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for decisions, grief, and ongoing struggles like compassion fatigue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test thinking and change patterns contributing to anger or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can reduce reactivity and impulsive responding.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Dr. Carroll will discuss goals, try out techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client reports and prefers. That process helps identify which tools fit a person's daily life and working style rather than committing to a single method up front.
The practical benefits of working remotely are fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping work on skills between meetings. The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make check-ins easier during a workday, allow shorter focused sessions when needed, and let people practice skills in their usual routines while getting therapist guidance.
