About Kimberly
Kimberly Nasrul is a California LMFT with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and related concerns such as guilt and shame. Kimberly focuses on practical ways to manage overwhelming emotions and repeated patterns that get in the way of daily life.
She often helps people struggling with panic, post-traumatic stress, and the strain that caregiver responsibilities bring. She also supports those feeling isolated, stuck in midlife questions, or pressured by workplace stress. Many clients bring issues tied to abandonment, communication breakdowns, chronic health challenges, or uncertainty about life purpose.
In session she listens for the stories and moments that keep feelings of shame or guilt active. Conversations aim to name what’s happening, try small changes, and build clearer ways to respond when intense emotions flare. Sessions move at a measured pace and focus on skills that fit into everyday routines.
Her work attends to women’s concerns including self-love, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and the transitions that follow major life changes. Kimberly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while staying attentive to cultural and personal context.
Clients are guided toward clearer communication, steadier mood management, and ways to carry responsibility without being overwhelmed by shame. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options button.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Kimberly uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns. One approach focuses on identifying and changing the behaviors that keep anxiety and panic active, using stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence for daily tasks. This helps when panic attacks or intense fear limit normal routines.Another approach centers on processing traumatic memories and their effects on mood and relationships. This involves stabilizing reactions, organizing the memory into a coherent narrative, and practicing coping strategies that reduce reactivity to reminders. It supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress and ongoing trauma responses.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Kimberly treats therapy as a collaboration and will help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences as sessions progress.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support shorter check-ins during a workday, or allow people to join from different locations without travel. Talk with the clinician about practical arrangements and what will best fit your routine.
