Kimberly Rakiec

Kimberly Rakiec is an LPCC practicing in California who approaches counseling with a practical and holistic outlook. She emphasizes understanding a person’s present circumstances and worldview before selecting strategies that fit their needs. With seven years of clinical work, Kimberly supports individuals and families through depressive and anxious symptoms as well as reactions related to trauma.

Her style blends structured skill-building and reflective exploration. She frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment principles, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns, develop coping skills, and clarify values-driven goals. Kimberly favors a collaborative, compassionate, and direct communication style, and she invites regular feedback to ensure sessions remain relevant and productive.

Kimberly works with a wide range of concerns including stress, relationships, sleep difficulties, career questions, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also attends to focus areas such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, social anxiety, and young adult issues. Her aim is to help people make sense of their current circumstances and to take actionable steps toward a more workable and meaningful life.
