About Kimberly

Florida LMHC with 4 years of clinical experience. Kimberly Giliberti helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, mood disorders, panic, and workplace or intimacy-related issues.

Kimberly takes a practical, cognitive behavioral approach most of the time. She shifts methods when someone needs a different way to work through a problem. Her background includes a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology from NOVA Southeastern University, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida.

In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma, PTSD, grief, or strong emotional reactions are central concerns. Those methods are used with adults and adolescents she has seen for depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and family problems.

Clients can expect direct, task-focused sessions that look at current patterns and practical next steps. Skills work, thought records, and behavior experiments are commonly part of the work. EMDR is offered when processing past events is needed and both client and clinician agree it is appropriate.

Her practice covers a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, impulsivity, isolation, trichotillomania, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Florida LMHC scope of practice.

How CBT and EMDR are used in remote care

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include setting specific goals, trying behavior experiments, and using thought records to test unhelpful beliefs. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace or social concerns.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people who need to process traumatic memories, grief, or intense emotional reactions. EMDR involves focusing on past memories while using guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge tied to those memories. It is often used when trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms are present.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem at hand, then recommend CBT, EMDR, or a combination. Adjustments are made as progress is monitored so the plan fits what actually helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and family obligations, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins when a brief session is useful. Licensed professionals, including Kimberly, use these methods to focus treatment on practical steps and emotional processing without promising specific outcomes.
