About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Carroll is an Arizona psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-003751) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Her practice focuses on concrete goals and practical change rather than abstract labels.
Dr. Carroll favors straightforward conversation and skills-based work. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and choices. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking, test assumptions, and try new actions that match their values. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when they fit the problem.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear steps you can use between meetings. That might mean breaking down a heated interaction at work, practicing breathing and distress-tolerance skills, or planning a different response when resentment builds. She encourages honest feedback so the work stays practical and focused on your goals.
Her background includes a doctorate in psychology earned in 2002 and a psychology license held since 2005. Over two decades she has supported people coping with trauma, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Dr. Carroll will consult with other professionals when a case requires extra perspectives, with client permission. She asks people to be ready to try exercises between sessions and to bring examples from daily life for discussion.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Carroll commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test assumptions and try new behaviors. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision, adjusting techniques to fit your goals and daily life. Together you and the therapist will try methods and check what helps most for the issues you bring up.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let you practice skills in the environments where practical problems occur, such as preparing for a difficult conversation at work or at home.
