About Kimberly

Dr. Kimberly Yazell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience in mental health care.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical background to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related life challenges including caregiver strain, chronic illness, blended family dynamics, and career or self-esteem struggles.

Her style blends evidence-based methods with a person-centered attitude, aiming to help clients make meaningful, sustainable changes. Dr.

Yazell uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and relationship-focused tools to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set goals and choose strategies that fit their values and daily lives.

Based in Indiana, she works with English-speaking clients through a range of online session formats and seeks to create an encouraging, practical therapeutic experience.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what to expect

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client’s goals shape the work; it helps when people want an empathic space to explore values and make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and life circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and make it easier to continue care consistently from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can integrate CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques into these remote sessions to support ongoing skill-building and problem solving.
