About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Carroll is an Arizona psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-003751) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, ADHD, and many related issues including intimacy and career worries.
Her approach is practical and direct. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looking at how thoughts shape feelings and choices. Sessions focus on clear examples from everyday life and on learning skills clients can keep using after therapy ends.
Dr. Carroll also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those methods fit a person's goals. She likes to discuss what is and isn’t working and to adjust the plan with honest feedback. She may consult with other professionals when helpful and with client permission.
Sessions emphasize making decisions that match a person's values and logic rather than reacting from automatic beliefs. Techniques taught in therapy are presented so people can practice them outside sessions. This can include short exercises, thought records, and mindful actions aimed at reducing avoidance and improving coping.
She provides care in English from Arizona and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Carroll commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult internal experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan based on feedback and progress.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and options that reduce travel time. Therapists can use online sessions to teach thought records, behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills when appropriate, making it easier to practice between meetings.
