Kimberly Giliberti

Kimberly Giliberti is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship or family tensions. She offers straightforward support for depression, mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and problems with self-esteem or impulsivity. Kimberly uses clear language and practical steps so people can try things between sessions.

She trained in psychology at the University of Central Florida and completed graduate study at Nova Southeastern University, earning a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology. Kimberly has four years of clinical experience as an LMHC in Florida. She blends evidence-based tools with attention to what each person needs in the moment.

Her approach is largely cognitive behavioral, focusing on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she has applied with adults coping with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief. Sessions typically emphasize skills you can use day to day and ways to reduce strong emotions.

In therapy sessions Kimberly works collaboratively to set clear goals and small steps toward them. She helps people understand triggers, improve communication, and manage impulsive reactions. Progress often comes from practicing new responses outside sessions and reviewing what worked.

Kimberly practices in Florida and provides services in English. If someone is considering therapy, she encourages using a brief intake to match goals and confirm practical details before scheduling.

How CBT and EMDR Can Be Used in Online Care

The cognitive behavioral approach focuses on habits of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into small steps and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and workplace or relationship stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them. It is often used when people report PTSD symptoms, strong grief reactions, or anxiety that traces back to past events.

Choosing a method is a team effort. Kimberly will work with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix fits best based on current goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday. Therapists can adapt CBT exercises and certain EMDR elements for remote work so treatment can continue when meeting in person is difficult.
