About Kimberly
Kimberly Pollard Johnson is a California licensed professional counselor candidate and a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, coping with life changes, and executive coaching. Kimberly works with adults who are facing shifts in work, relationships, or health and who want practical ways forward.
She helps people talk through immediate concerns and build skills for handling everyday pressure. Sessions often cover managing strong emotions, addressing addictive behaviors, and planning next steps after a major life change. She also brings coaching-style supports for people refining career direction or workplace challenges.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She adjusts discussions and the treatment plan to address each person's concerns and goals. That can mean short-term skills work, problem-solving around a specific issue, or ongoing support while someone navigates change.
Kimberly has worked in settings that brought experience with anger, communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and coping with illness or chronic pain. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, body image concerns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, dissociation, and domestic violence consequences.
Sessions are conducted in English. She is licensed in California as LPCC and LMFT. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and any other practical details through the site matching process.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves skill-building for emotion regulation and stress management, teaching concrete methods to reduce anxious or angry reactions and improve daily coping. Another approach centers on behavior-focused strategies to address addictions and impulsivity, helping people identify triggers and put steps in place to break harmful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then decide which techniques to try. That collaborative process may shift over time as goals evolve and new information emerges.
