About Kimberly
Kimberly Rakiec is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, career shifts, and relationship challenges. Kimberly speaks plainly and meets people where they are to help them find clearer next steps.
She starts by listening to a person’s current situation and what led them to seek counseling. If it’s hard to name what’s going on, she helps sort through feelings and patterns to make problems easier to understand. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward practical change rather than jargon.
Kimberly uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work. She often blends these with client-centered and solution-focused strategies to suit each person’s needs. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to feel better day to day.
Her communication style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. She asks for feedback often so the work stays focused on the person’s goals and time is used well. That approach helps people track progress and adjust plans as needed.
In the first session she will talk about what’s happening now and what the person hopes to change. If the match doesn’t feel right, she will help find another option. Kimberly has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LPCC credential in California.
