Kimberly Schwartz , LCSW

Kimberly Schwartz is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Kimberly also supports people managing ADHD and those who identify as autistic.

She often helps people who feel isolated or overwhelmed by social anxiety and communication problems. She listens closely to understand how emotional reactions, relationships, and everyday behavior connect. That helps her and the person she sees decide what to work on first.

Sessions tend to be practical and down-to-earth. Kimberly will talk through coping tools for panic, routines for attention and impulsivity, and ways to reduce shame or guilt. She also helps people who are recovering from domestic violence, dealing with blended family dynamics, or facing challenges tied to first responder or veteran experiences.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to make therapy feel manageable, with clear goals and steps people can try between sessions. Progress is approached at the person’s pace.

Kimberly works from Pennsylvania and brings nearly two decades of practice to each conversation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to what a person needs right now. Many people seek her out for help with forgiveness, communication, and rebuilding daily routines after trauma.

If someone wants to begin, Kimberly recommends a simple first step to describe current concerns and set an initial plan together.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building concrete skills. Cognitive-style approaches help people identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and shame, and teach steps to test and shift those thoughts. These methods are useful for panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and worry.

Behavioral and skills-based techniques focus on routines and practice. That can mean developing small daily habits for attention and impulsivity, learning grounding steps for panic, or practicing communication skills in bite-sized exercises. These strategies help with ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and coping during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time to fit changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow more of a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent touchpoints. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
