Dr. Kimberly Walsh, UT Psychologist 117391-2501

Dr. Kimberly Walsh uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, mood symptoms, and life changes. She combines clear strategies with problem-solving so people can feel better and get back to daily routines. Dr. Walsh works from Utah and brings 32 years of clinical experience to each session.

Her work focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the effects of traumatic brain injury. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms and build skills people can use between appointments.

Dr. Walsh draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and teach new coping skills. She pairs this with Mindfulness Therapy practices to help people manage strong emotions and stay grounded. Those methods are used alongside clinical judgment and assessment when needed.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English Literature from Cornell University, a Master’s in Counseling from Florida State University, and a Doctor of Psychology from Florida Institute of Technology with a Clinical Psychology major. She also completed post-graduate training in neuropsychological assessment and a postdoctoral Master’s in Clinical Psychopharmacology.

She has experience across the lifespan, including work with children through older adults, and has supported parents with behavioral management for children and teens. People who are considering therapy can expect a focused, practical approach that emphasizes clear skills and doable steps.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys cooking and baking, companion animals, organic gardening, yoga, kickboxing, and a regular meditation practice.

How CBT and Mindfulness fit into online therapy

Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small steps, teaches practical tools, and focuses on actions people can try between sessions. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity to strong emotions and can support coping with stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms. These short exercises are often practiced in session and as home assignments.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and daily routine. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for regular skill practice between sessions. It can also accommodate quieter check-ins or shorter follow-ups when that better fits a person's day.
