Kimberley Haley , LMHC

Kimberley Haley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts who brings two decades of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montreal in 1993 and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2001. Her background includes substantial experience supporting people who have endured abuse and trauma, and she routinely treats anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression.

Haley also assists clients coping with grief and loss, low self-esteem, the stresses of divorce or separation, co-parenting challenges, and relationship or marital concerns. With experience as a behaviorist and significant work alongside families affected by intellectual and other disabilities, she is well suited to support caregivers and family members navigating those responsibilities.

Her clinical work is primarily Cognitive Behavioral in orientation, focusing on identifying specific problems and developing clear, practical plans to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. She emphasizes a non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic environment that centers on client goals and collaborative effort to improve quality of life. Throughout her career she has aimed to create an open space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberley Haley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central approach, helping clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are employed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness-based methods are also integrated to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Haley works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a treatment plan that is practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into varied lifestyles without sacrificing the quality of the therapeutic work.
