Dr. Kimberlee Kaercher

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Taking the step to begin therapy takes courage, and I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation of meaningful change. I'm Dr. Kimberlee Kaercher, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and founder of Lumax Counseling Services, LLC. I hold a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology and a master's degree in counseling, and I have supported children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across school and clinical settings. I provide a professional, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel genuinely understood. My background is somewhat unique and informs everything I do. Years of experience as an educator and special education teacher, along with my training in forensic psychology, have given me a deep understanding of behavior, development, trauma, and the many factors that shape a person's life. I bring that perspective into the therapy room with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for the people I serve.

Whether you are working to strengthen your relationship, healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, facing the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. I would be glad to answer any questions you may have and to talk with you about how we might work together. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on the path toward healing and growth.

Therapist

A little bit about me—I’m a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs. I offer a variety of ways for us to work together, whether you prefer traditional talk therapy, incorporating creative expression through art, or a combination of both. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings with people from many different backgrounds and stages of life. Those experiences have shaped my approach and reinforced the importance of meeting each person where they are. While I enjoy working with adults across the lifespan, I’ve found that I’m especially passionate about supporting older teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the many uncertainties that can come with this stage of life.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Pittsburgh

Finding OCD therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for the right clinical training, not just a general specialty label. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD therapy, anxiety and OCD experience, or structured support for obsessions and compulsions.

Pittsburgh has a strong mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, but the best fit still depends on more than location. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit, while others use virtual appointments to access more therapists with OCD experience. It can help to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how clearly their profile describes their approach. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who names ERP training or focused OCD treatment experience, so reading bios closely can help you narrow your search.

OCD therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for Pittsburgh therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review profiles, compare specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
