Kimberly Murrell

Kimberly Murrell is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She creates a calm space where clients can name what’s hard and talk through next steps without judgment.

Kimberly aims to make the first steps into therapy as simple as possible. She encourages clients to bring whatever feels most urgent - symptoms, life changes, or relationship concerns - and then together they set clear, manageable goals. Her approach centers on listening closely and offering practical strategies clients can try between sessions.

In sessions she helps people sort through patterns like avoidant behavior, control issues, obsessive thoughts, or guilt and shame. She also supports clients dealing with fertility challenges and struggles around self-love and self-esteem. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

Her background includes direct clinical work with people affected by post-traumatic stress and eating disorders. Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person’s needs, and she explains methods in plain language so clients know what to expect. She draws on three years of hands-on experience to guide treatment planning.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, explained in clear terms so clients know what will happen in sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach addresses trauma by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable, then building skills to cope with triggers and stressful memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level. She explains options, listens to preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work or family commitments, and some formats require less bandwidth or shorter check-ins when that helps. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to continue regular progress without needing extra travel time, helping clients keep consistent momentum toward their goals.
