Kim Borges, LPC

Kim Borges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with over 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and midlife shifts.

She aims to create a calm and affirming space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on building resilience and clearer decision-making. Kim often helps clients who feel stuck during life changes or who are rethinking goals and priorities.

Her work addresses addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with isolation, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Women and young adults are listed among the groups she commonly helps.

Kim uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer tools for managing mood and reducing anxiety. She focuses on skills that people can practice between sessions, such as emotion regulation and healthier relationship patterns. The emphasis is on small, concrete steps that add up over time.

Her style is collaborative and respectful of cultural differences and individual values. She encourages self-compassion and helps clients reconnect with what matters to them. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Kim uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and move through transitions. For example, cognitive-based methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, consistent actions such as activity planning and habit changes to lift mood and increase functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This means adjusting methods over time and trying different tools until something feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats Kim currently offers before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, or allow a quicker check-in on a break from work. Some formats can reduce the need to be on camera or use less bandwidth when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can still provide structured, evidence-based care through remote sessions when a format fits your needs.
