Dr. Kimberly Walsh, UT Psychologist 117391-2501

Dr. Kimberly Walsh offers a practical, skills-focused approach centered on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She draws on over three decades of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, usable steps that fit into a busy life.

Dr. Walsh is a Utah psychologist (UT Psychologist 117391-2501) with 32 years of experience. She has worked across a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, panic, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing family conflict, parenting strain, and questions around life purpose or midlife change.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and reduce intense emotional reactions. Sessions typically focus on clear strategies - thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief mindfulness practices - that can be tried between meetings.

Dr. Walsh has a strong assessment background and additional training in neuropsychological assessment and clinical psychopharmacology. That experience supports careful attention to mood disorders and cognitive concerns following injury or medical changes.

Outside of practice she enjoys cooking, organic gardening, yoga, kickboxing, and meditation. She speaks English and works with adults across many life stages who want practical tools to feel better and function more effectively.

How CBT and Mindfulness work online

CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with concrete behavioral experiments. Online work can include reviewing thought records, planning small behavioral changes, and tracking results between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what is helpful. That means trying practical tools, checking what works, and changing course when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can support face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit into a busy day for quick reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
