About Kimberly
Kimberly Pollard Johnson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and coping with life changes, and she also offers executive coaching and professional coaching services.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. She adapts conversations and plans to the issues a person brings so the work stays relevant to daily pressures.
Kimberly helps people address things like impulsivity, communication problems, codependency, guilt, shame, and commitment worries. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, divorce and separation, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. Anger and coping strategies are part of this broader set of concerns she handles in session.
In the room she emphasizes problem-solving and skill practice. That can include learning new ways to respond in tense moments, building healthier routines, and rehearsing different reactions to trigger situations. Sessions combine conversation with practical exercises people can use between meetings.
Her work is aimed at adults who want clear, usable changes rather than abstract talk. People who need help organizing next steps after a big life change, managing recurring anger, or reducing addictive patterns may find this style direct and task-focused.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kimberly practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach is behavioral skills training, which teaches concrete actions and responses for handling stress, anger, and impulsivity. This helps people change how they react in tense moments and practice new habits between sessions. Another approach is coaching-informed work that emphasizes goal-setting and accountability to address career or executive concerns and life transitions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That can mean trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
