About Kimberly

Kimberly Rehak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with more than 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career difficulties, attention and focus problems, stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.

Kimberly frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She talks through what has been getting in the way - like concentration problems or life transitions - and helps people identify manageable next steps. She aims for clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory.

In practice she helps people address patterns that affect work and home life. That includes coping techniques for stress, ways to handle anger or resentment before it escalates, and approaches to improve sleep and focus. She also supports people facing substance use, relationship strain, and identity-related concerns within the LGBT spectrum.

Her background includes long-term work with those affected by trauma and abuse, and she brings that experience to cases involving chronic illness, caregiving stress, and attachment concerns. She also supports issues around body image, eating, and codependency when these relate to a client's goals.

Kimberly invites practical steps early in therapy - small changes a person can try between sessions. She encourages people to notice what works, adjust as needed, and build on progress. The tone is direct and pragmatic, aimed at adults who want clearer strategies for managing anger, stress, and everyday challenges.

How sessions work

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in practice include cognitive-behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior in small steps, helpful for anxiety, anger, and sleep problems. Trauma-informed strategies pay attention to how past events affect current reactions and focus on building coping skills and pacing work to avoid overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting based on results rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Confirm the session formats before scheduling because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. They can also let someone continue care while handling work, caregiving, or relocation - practical benefits that help keep progress steady without promising a particular format.
