About Kimberley
Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts who uses practical, problem-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer clear steps clients can use in daily life.
Her style is direct and supportive, with attention to real-life challenges such as parenting, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. Haley trained in mental health counseling and has worked extensively with people affected by abuse and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
She also has long experience assisting caregivers and those connected to individuals with intellectual or other disabilities. That background informs how she helps clients balance care responsibilities with personal needs. Her work often centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotional regulation and stress relief. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and short-term goals that build practical coping skills. Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is tracked.
Haley pays attention to daily routines, relationships, and the environments that shape behavior. She offers empathy alongside direct guidance so people can make steady changes. She provides therapy in English and sees people in Massachusetts as well as international clients through online formats.
Haley’s experience spans about 20 years and she holds an MA and the LMHC credential.
Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills
Kimberley often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach clear tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and tweak the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and straightforward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is possible. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts helps clarity. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping regular momentum toward goals.
