About Kimberly

Dr. Kimberly Yazell, PhD, LCSW, LCAC, brings more than 17 years of clinical experience to her therapeutic practice. She holds a PhD, which denotes advanced graduate study, and maintains professional licenses as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC), credentials that reflect training in mental health and addiction care.

Her work has included extensive dual diagnosis treatment for both adults and teens across varying levels of care. She has also provided mental health services to military service members, focusing on combat-related trauma, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and challenges related to reintegration. These experiences have informed a practical, trauma-aware approach to treatment.

Dr. Yazell uses evidence-based practices to help clients make measurable progress and support lasting change. She aims to create an environment where people feel supported and encouraged as they navigate recovery, relationship concerns, grief, and other life transitions. Her clinical emphasis is on helping individuals and families build coping skills, address co-occurring conditions, and work toward meaningful, sustainable improvements in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and strengths, creating a supportive space where a person’s priorities guide the pace and focus of treatment; it is useful for improving self-understanding and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse-driven behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or other locations that fit their schedule. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, integrate skills into daily life, and continue therapy around work, family, or other commitments.
