About Kimberly
Kimberly Harshaw is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works primarily with adults and focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and adjustments to life changes.
She describes using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Schema Informed Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice skills for emotional regulation, and reframe long-standing self-beliefs that cause repeated problems. She also offers support for people living with chronic pain and its emotional impact.
Her style is direct and practical. Conversations focus on specific problems and concrete steps a person can try between sessions. Sessions often include skill practice, structured thinking exercises, and discussion of how patterns show up in daily life. The aim is to reduce distress and improve how a person copes with difficult moments.
Kimberly works with adults on relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, and parenting stress. She names anger explicitly as one of the issues she addresses and helps people notice triggers and respond differently. People who prefer clear strategies and steady guidance may find this approach useful.

How sessions work
How her evidence-based methods translate to online work
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and focused on identifying patterns that keep problems like anger or depression going, then trying different responses.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques give concrete tools for calming down in the moment and reducing impulsive reactions. Schema Informed Therapy helps when a person keeps repeating the same painful patterns; it looks at long-standing beliefs and ways of relating that keep causing trouble.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and she will collaborate with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and focused.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use step-by-step skill practice and thought-record exercises that translate well to remote appointments, helping people apply techniques where they live and work.
