About Kimberly
Kimberly Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are presented plainly and focus on learning skills to manage day-to-day challenges.
Kimberly uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to examine thoughts and actions, and on motivational interviewing to support change. Her approach also includes person-centered and solution-focused tools to build strengths and set realistic goals.
In sessions she talks with clients about patterns like attachment or abandonment worries, commitment and communication difficulties, and codependency. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or cancer-related challenges. Work may cover body image, grief, aging concerns, and the strain that life transitions bring.
Her style aims to be straightforward and hopeful while helping clients identify small, useful changes. Therapy typically focuses on skills for coping, clearer communication, and reducing overwhelming feelings so daily life becomes more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Kimberly uses a combination of cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and help people try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Motivational interviewing focuses on conversations that increase readiness for change and clarify personal goals when someone feels stuck.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kimberly will discuss what is most useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time. That collaboration helps shape practical plans and short-term goals clients can test between sessions.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in during transitions. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for consistent check-ins, skill practice, and staying connected to therapeutic work without needing to rearrange long commutes.
