About Kimberly
Kimberly Harker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with four years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, control problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic, and post-traumatic stress.
Kimberly uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on evidence-based techniques including cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral skills to manage strong emotions. She also uses acceptance-based tools and motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and take manageable steps forward.
Sessions focus on connecting past experiences to present behaviors and beliefs. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then work on concrete skills to respond differently. Expect conversations about boundaries, coping skills, and ways to regulate intense feelings.
Insight is part of the process, and action follows. Kimberly aims to combine understanding with practical steps so people can try out new approaches between sessions. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than sweeping promises.
People do not need to have everything figured out to begin. Kimberly invites honest, direct conversations about what is actually happening in a person's life, and she helps map out the next realistic actions.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Kimberly draws from a few practical, evidence-based methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, and shame. These approaches help people test beliefs and try new responses in everyday situations.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches that teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools are useful for managing intense feelings, panic, and urges connected to addiction or trauma. Motivational interviewing is another thread in her work - it helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, achievable steps toward those goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift as skills are practiced and circumstances change.
