About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Carroll helps people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and changes at work or in life. She is also experienced supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Dr. Carroll holds a doctorate in psychology and lists her credential as AZ Psychologist PSY-003751. She brings two decades of clinical experience in Arizona to her practice.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Sessions focus on real-life choices and small, useful skills that can change daily routines and reactions. She encourages honest feedback so therapy stays on track.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is central to her work. That means looking at the thoughts that drive feelings and behaviors, then practicing different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered techniques to help people clarify values and build motivation.
Dr. Carroll offers ways to practice new skills between meetings so progress can continue outside sessions. She may suggest brief exercises, thought records, or behavioral experiments depending on the concern.
She will consult with other professionals when needed and with client permission. People who choose her can expect a warm, direct style with an emphasis on usable tools. She aims to help people make clearer choices, reduce distressing reactions like anger, and move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for issues like anxiety, stress, grief, and anger by shifting focus from avoidance to purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, then teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for depression, anxiety, anger, and addictive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative testing helps find what fits each person’s needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make treatment easier to fit into a busy life. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice interpersonal skills. Phone work can be a shorter check-in or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief coaching or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility and make it easier to use therapy tools consistently.
