About Kimber

Kimber Brokaw is a licensed social worker based in Illinois with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She holds the credentials LCSW and LISW - licensed clinical social worker and licensed independent social worker - and brings a compassionate, practical approach to therapy that centers on understanding how a person is wired and how past wounds continue to influence current patterns.

Kimber helps clients identify what keeps them stuck and teaches strategies to move toward the life they want. Her work commonly addresses family dynamics, intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, anger, career struggles, midlife questions, and women's issues. She blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative approaches with psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas, and often uses experiential exercises to help people shift from overthinking to felt insight.

Clients who work with Kimber can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes their goals and preferences. Therapy is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships; by exploring and reframing those narratives, clients can separate themselves from limiting beliefs and open new possibilities for action. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness practices to help people stay present, reduce reactivity, and build resilience when dealing with grief, trauma responses, or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimber collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Kimber offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to client-centered care.
