About Kimberly

Kimberly Lackey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, LGBT-related issues, self-esteem and motivation, addictions, relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, career challenges, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.

Her work also includes attention to codependency, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, life purpose, self-love, sexuality, women's issues, and workplace concerns. Her therapeutic stance centers on respect for each person's expertise in their own life and on building from existing strengths to address current challenges.

Kimberly draws from client-centered therapy to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to explore patterns of thought and behavior, and applies solution-focused strategies to set practical, achievable goals. She welcomes clients who are ready to take the first step and supports them through thoughtful, goal-oriented collaboration.

Clients can expect a compassionate professional who values resilience and practical progress. Kimberly encourages people to recognize their capabilities and to engage in steps that increase confidence, improve coping, and enhance overall well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Kimberly draws from client-centered therapy to prioritize empathy, active listening, and the individual's own goals; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kimberly treats that choice as a collaborative process. She works with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support, maintain momentum between meetings, and fit therapy into busy lives without sacrificing continuity of care.
