About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Walsh combines straightforward, evidence-informed methods with a practical focus on everyday life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and big life changes. Dr. Walsh brings 32 years of experience as a Utah psychologist and writes simply about goals most people share: feeling better, handling conflict, and finding more balance.
In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and focus in day-to-day moments. These techniques are applied to problems such as depression, panic, bipolar mood swings, grief, and compassion fatigue, and to relationship and parenting strains.
Her background includes work across a wide age range, from school-age children through older adults, and experience with neuropsychological issues after brain injury. The biography lists adoption and foster care as an additional focus area for people navigating those family and placement concerns.
Dr. Walsh earned a Doctor of Psychology from Florida Tech and a master’s in counseling from Florida State University, with earlier undergraduate studies at Cornell University. She also completed post-graduate training in neuropsychological assessment and a postdoctoral master’s in clinical psychopharmacology.
Outside of therapy she enjoys cooking and baking, organic gardening, yoga, kickboxing, meditation, and caring for companion animals. Her approach aims to be practical and steady, helping people build routines and skills that fit busy lives.
How CBT and Mindfulness Work Online
Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify habits of thinking that worsen mood and anxiety, and then to practice different ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is practical and often includes short exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, panic, and ongoing worry.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they shape a plan that mixes skills, homework, and mindfulness practices so the work fits the client's needs.
The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people also find it simpler to practice skills in their everyday environment and then discuss what happened in the next meeting.
