Kimberli Patrick , LPC

Kimberli Patrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with more than three decades of experience in mental health care. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and parenting challenges, and adjust to major life changes, and she also works with clients who have ADHD. Known for a personable style and a calming presence, she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Her work is client-centered - she adapts her approach to match each person or family's needs and preferences, collaborating with them to define goals and build practical ways to manage life on life terms. Kimberli meets clients where they are and aims to create a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that supports progress and emotional growth.

Over the course of her career she has provided care in a variety of settings, including inpatient adolescent substance treatment, community mental health programs, school-based counseling, in-home therapy, private practice with children and families, and group work for substance abuse and mental health concerns. She takes pride in the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports clients as they take that first step.

Client-centered and family-focused approaches for online care

Kimberli primarily practices a client-centered approach, which places the client's experience and goals at the core of therapy. This method emphasizes listening, empathy, and adapting techniques to each person's communication style and needs, helping with issues like anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also brings experience in family therapy and work with children and adolescents, collaborating with caregivers and family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support parenting challenges. In addition, Kimberli has facilitated group work for clients facing substance use and mental health concerns, offering peer support and shared coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Kimberli will work with each client to determine which techniques and format best match their goals, preferences, and situation. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in care from home or another convenient location. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
