About Kimberly "Kim" Frey

Kimberly "Kim" Frey, LPCC, is a California-licensed clinician with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. As an LPCC - a licensed professional clinical counselor - she blends clinical skill with practical support to address each client’s immediate needs while focusing on long-term coping strategies.

She approaches every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s circumstances and goals. Her work emphasizes personalized care, so therapy is shaped around what matters most to the client rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Kim recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and makes space for the uncertainty that first steps can bring. She affirms progress early in the process and partners with clients to build confidence, clarify priorities, and foster practical change over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist offers nonjudgmental support and helps clients explore their values and goals. This approach is useful for people seeking validation, improved self-understanding, and stronger decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured techniques and practical exercises - it is often applied to stress, anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; it can be beneficial for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are partners in selecting strategies that feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while adapting sessions to what works best for each person and their circumstances.
