About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Sandoval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She helps people who feel isolated, struggle with self-love, or have trouble with attachment and communication. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical steps. Kimberlyn also supports people working through caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Her work uses a mix of well-known techniques to match what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking and on client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s perspective. Mindfulness practices and EMDR are also part of what she uses when they fit the concern.
Kimberlyn aims to make sessions focused and understandable. She offers both English and Spanish language support. People may find it helpful that she has years of experience working with trauma, panic, and long-standing anxiety. Practical skills and clear planning are common parts of her sessions.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies their goals before moving to specific skills or interventions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavior changes, which can help with panic, social anxiety, and ongoing worry.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma or painful memories are getting in the way. It pairs guided memory work with bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic recollections for some people.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and may combine approaches over time based on how someone responds.
