About Kimberly
Kimberly O'Day is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 15 years of social work experience. She has worked in community mental health settings and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She also draws on experience with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and workplace difficulties.
Kimberly served in the Army and lived overseas, then settled in Colorado. She volunteers at an equine rescue and rehab and holds a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. That background shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach to care.
Her way of working centers on listening first. She treats people as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths that help them handle problems. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and useful skills rather than long explanations.
Clinically, she uses client-centered techniques alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for addressing substance use and readiness to change.
People who want direct, practical help with stress, relationships, addiction, or low mood often find this approach useful. She also supports those dealing with blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, family of origin concerns, first responder and veteran issues, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions are offered in English and Kimberly does not accept international clients.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports them in identifying what matters most and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete strategies for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions, useful for mood and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting focus as problems change.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use DBT or CBT skills worksheets during or between meetings. Ask about available formats when scheduling to match sessions to your routine and needs.
