About Kim
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in New Jersey with 3 years of experience. Kim Erin OConnor focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, anger, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Kim helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and identify small, practical steps forward. She encourages clear goals and uses techniques that change unhelpful thinking and habits. Sessions often include mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.
Her background includes work with people facing cancer, caregiver stress, co-occurring conditions, drug and alcohol addiction, hospice and end-of-life issues, panic disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and social anxiety. She integrates approaches to match the concern at hand rather than relying on a single method.
In sessions she balances exploring underlying patterns with setting short-term, achievable goals. That means talking about past experiences where it helps, and practicing new skills when action is needed. Clients can expect a mix of reflective conversation and concrete exercises to try between sessions.
Language of service is English and practice location is New Jersey. The therapist asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching and scheduling tools to begin the intake process. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How core methods translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. Online sessions can include working through thought records, practicing exposure tasks, and setting activity plans to reduce avoidance and improve mood.Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment noticing and simple breathing or grounding exercises. In remote sessions this can mean guided practice in-session and short home exercises to lower stress and reactivity between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve ambivalence and boost motivation for change. It involves open questions, reflective listening, and setting small, concrete goals that fit a person’s readiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with short-term, solution-focused tasks and adding reflective or skills-based work as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can be practical for fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules. It also makes certain activities easier, such as brief check-ins, guided mindfulness practice with less travel time, and using screen-shared worksheets during a session.
