About Kimberley

Kimberley Smith-Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a licensed mental health professional who supports people in managing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns and a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She combines compassionate, objective guidance with practical strategies to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward more rewarding lives. Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Kimberley emphasizes how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors and uses evidence-based techniques to address patterns that undermine well-being.

She also explains the interplay of brain, emotions, and body in clear, simple terms so clients can understand why they feel stuck and learn concrete coping skills to make sustainable changes.

With a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston-Victoria and 16 years of experience in mental health work, Kimberley has provided services in a range of settings including Fort Bend County Juvenile Probation Psychological Division, Texana Center, Baylor College of Medicine, the platform, Faithful Counseling, Teladoc, and Amwell.

Her clinical interests include depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, relationship and family problems, and compassion fatigue. Kimberley believes it is never too late to pursue personal goals.

She approaches each person as unique, helping them uncover strengths and rediscover purpose so they can move forward with greater confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Kimberley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical, skills-based work that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy, trust, and self-worth. This approach helps people understand relationship dynamics and develop healthier ways of relating to others when attachment issues are present.

Kimberley treats the choice of therapeutic approach as a collaborative process. She reviews goals, preferences, and life circumstances with each person and adapts methods over time so therapy stays aligned with what the client needs and hopes to achieve.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels. Working with licensed professionals this way makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, travel, or when in-person options are limited, while still focusing on meaningful, effective therapeutic work.
