About Kimberly
Kimberly Osmanagic is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating concerns. She works with those facing relationship strain, grief, substance struggles, and challenges like sleep problems or low self-esteem. Kimberly describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s experience leads the work.
She brings 18 years of experience in mental health and a background that includes holistic health coaching. That combination shapes a practical, body-aware approach.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels most useful right now and build from there. Kimberly uses somatic methods to help people notice how the body holds stress and emotion. She also draws on client-centered listening and evidence-informed techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and EMDR may be part of the work when they fit a person’s needs. In sessions she aims to create simple steps clients can try between meetings. This often includes grounding or breathing practices, small behavioral experiments, and ways to rethink stressful situations.
Progress is paced to each person’s comfort and goals. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and clear communication. People who want straightforward, practical support that includes attention to both body sensations and thinking often find this approach helpful.
How somatic work and skills-based therapy translate online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress and emotions show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided body awareness, breathing exercises, and movement suggestions to help reduce tension and increase regulation. These practices are useful for trauma, chronic stress, and anxiety-related symptoms.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It creates space to tell your story and identify strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean combining somatic noticing with practical CBT exercises and mindfulness practices over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People can use the format that fits their schedule and energy level, practice skills between sessions, and check in in ways that feel manageable. For many, that accessibility makes it easier to keep progress moving forward.
