About Kimberly
Kimberly Cardozo is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She holds an LCSW and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. Kimberly aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication struggles, and panic disorder and panic attacks. She also helps people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Kimberly adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She combines practical skills with reflective work so clients can try small changes between sessions. Sessions often include guidance on managing anxious moments and practicing mindfulness exercises.
Her style blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavior techniques and client-centered listening. She draws on existential questions when people face big life changes or grief. The goal is to help people understand what matters to them and take manageable steps toward that life.
Kimberly encourages people to reach out even when the first step feels hard. She offers steady support while people practice new habits and ways of handling worry and stressful situations.
Approaches for online work and managing anxiety
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and interrupt anxious patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes supportive listening and meeting people where they are, giving space to be heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful. Together they try techniques, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan based on the person’s goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Many clients find skill practice, mindfulness exercises, and CBT tools translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will suggest ways to use those tools in day-to-day routines.
