About Kimberly
Kimberly Gresham is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with six years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship concerns, parenting strain, career issues, and coping with life changes. Kimberly also supports people facing compassion fatigue and other related challenges. She communicates in English.
Her sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She listens and helps clients notice patterns that make anger and frustration build. Then she practices skills to respond differently, including grounding and breathing, thought work, and communication techniques.
Kimberly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and act in line with their values. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. Mindfulness practices and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are offered to improve emotion regulation and stress management.
In a typical session she will check in on recent situations that felt hard, try small experiments, and suggest exercises to try during the week. The work aims to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and rebuild a sense of control over daily stressors.
Her background supports adults dealing with caregiving stress, blended family challenges, hoarding, impulsivity, infidelity, jealousy, and issues tied to aging or military service. People who want clear strategies to handle anger and grow steadier day to day may find this approach practical and direct.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from rumination or stuck expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep anger and anxiety going, with clear exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in the client’s priorities and pace, giving space for the person to set goals and lead the conversation.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss approaches with each person and decide together which techniques fit goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting as needed.
