Kimberly "Kim" Schlichting

Kimberly "Kim" Schlichting is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 33 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or life changes. Kim aims to make the first step easier by offering respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support.

Kim focuses on practical talking and planning to improve everyday functioning. She works with concerns like motivation, concentration, memory, and attention difficulties. She also helps people facing aging or geriatric issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, family-related stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Kim tailors conversations and treatment plans to match what a person wants to work on. She emphasizes clear goals and small, manageable steps to build confidence and coping skills.

Her approach is direct and down-to-earth. Kim listens, asks concrete questions, and helps people try new ways of handling hard moments. She encourages practical strategies for daily life, such as routines to support focus and steps to reduce anxiety.

People who choose Kim can expect a steady, reassuring presence while they work toward clearer priorities and better day-to-day functioning. She frames change as a series of attainable moves, and she supports clients through each stage of that process.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Kim often uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and skills building. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and routine changes to improve focus, memory, and motivation; this helps people test simple habits and see what works day to day. Another approach centers on anxiety and mood management through learning coping tools, relaxation practices, and thought-focused exercises to reduce worry and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that avoid travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or other commitments.
