About Kimberly
Kimberly O'Day is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of social work experience. She began her career after serving in the Army, including time stationed in Germany, and later settled in Colorado. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression among the issues she helps people with.
She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions focus on strengths and practical steps rather than labels. She draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and motivational interviewing to help people find what fits.
Her background includes community mental health practice and volunteer work with an equine rescue and rehab. She also holds a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, which informs her comfort around animals and experiential options when appropriate. Kimberly speaks English and practices in Colorado as an LCSW and CSW.
In sessions she helps people sort through family history, communication problems, and blended family issues. She also addresses codependency, substance and alcohol concerns, post-traumatic stress, and workplace or first responder stress. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on skills and small changes.
To begin she asks people to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can outline goals. The work is collaborative: she helps people try strategies, notice what works, and adjust as needed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and supports practical decision making; this helps when someone needs to sort priorities or name next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress because it gives clear exercises and step-by-step experiments to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools are often used when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make day-to-day life harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to match methods to goals, adjust strategies, and check what is helping over time.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer meetings for skills practice. Discussing format and timing during the first appointment helps plans fit everyday life without promising a particular service.
