More about Kimberly

  • 23 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kimberly Depatie, please call me Kim. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Equine Assisted Psychotherapist in beautiful South Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 1998.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder, physical trauma and/or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is welcoming, warm and client-centered. It is my goal to collaborate and empower my clients. Working together, we will look to discover strategies, tools and solutions that work best for you.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, let's get to work!

As you look at my availability on the platform, please know that it is slightly different from the sessions that show as available. My office hours are Monday through Friday 3:00 PM EST through 11:00 PM EDT.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
