Kimberly Mullaney, LCPC

Kimberly Mullaney is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma or abuse, eating concerns, depression, and attention or concentration difficulties. Kimberly emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She aims to make the first steps into therapy easier and affirms the courage it takes to begin.

In sessions she adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. She addresses issues like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and difficulties with impulsivity. Kimberly also helps people facing caregiver stress, body image concerns, relationship separation, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach involves using evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the situation. That means selecting methods that match a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and build skills that can be used outside the room.

Kimberly draws on nearly three decades of clinical work to inform her decisions about pacing and treatment choices. She works with people who want concrete tools alongside time to talk through painful experiences. Her aim is to help people notice small changes that add up over time.

People considering therapy are encouraged to take the Start Therapy step and complete the short questionnaire to begin matching and scheduling. Kimberly asks clients to be active partners in shaping goals and next steps.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many evidence-based techniques focus on practical skills and structured conversations that transfer well to an online setting. Cognitive-behavioral style approaches break concerns into thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and teach tools for managing anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. They are useful for learning coping strategies, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and reducing avoidant behaviors.

Trauma-informed approaches emphasize safety, pacing, and grounding skills to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress and help people feel more stable. These methods prioritize small, manageable steps and teaching calming techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts pace and tools over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments during caregiving or work breaks and to maintain continuity when life is hectic. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available for scheduling.
