That hands-on work helped her learn how to spot both risks and resilience in individuals and groups.

She blends several approaches depending on the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy often shape her work on thought patterns and relationships. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used to support coping and motivation.

Kimberly practices in Mississippi and holds the credentials LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Please confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client's pace. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set realistic goals. This method helps with motivation and deciding what to tackle first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and name strong feelings and how these affect relationships. It can be useful for improving connection and handling emotional reactions with more clarity.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kimberly will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest ways to try different methods and see what fits. The plan can change as needs evolve, and progress is tracked together.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
