About Kim
Kim Riddle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Kim keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what’s happening and try simple, doable steps. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent - whether that is snapping at loved ones, building better coping plans at work, or managing after a loss.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns and test new behaviors. For people with trauma histories she uses trauma-focused work and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address distressing memories and reactions.
Conversations are paced to each person’s tolerance. Kim helps people build skills for day-to-day life and practices that reduce reactivity over time. She also helps sort out how mood or substance issues may be feeding anger and anxiety.
Kim spent much of her career in community mental health settings and brings that background to private work. She aims for clear communication and practical planning so people can make changes that fit their everyday lives.
If you want to manage anger more often than it manages you, Kim offers focused, steady support that emphasizes concrete steps and ongoing problem solving.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kim uses client-centered therapy to make space for what matters most to the person, listening and shaping sessions around current concerns. That approach helps people bring the problems they want to address and set practical goals together.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable parts. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems because it focuses on small behavior changes and skill practice between sessions. For people whose anger is linked to traumatic memories, she offers trauma-focused work and EMDR to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kim will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and help you choose what fits your goals and tolerance. That choice can change over time as you try different techniques.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, and keeping appointments consistent. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know what to expect.
