About Kimberly

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She offers clear, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, or life transitions. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness to guide sessions.

Kimberly focuses on real skills clients can use between meetings, such as noticing difficult thoughts, building routines, and practicing grounding techniques.

Background and approach

Her background includes clinical work across settings and an emphasis on culture and life context. She believes therapy should reflect each person’s values and circumstances rather than follow a single template. That perspective shapes how she plans goals and tracks progress.

Kimberly holds a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University and is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW. She draws on varied clinical experience to support people facing trauma, addiction, chronic health concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship or parenting strain. In sessions she aims to be straightforward and compassionate.

Conversations tend to focus on practical steps, managing strong emotions, and developing clearer communication. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where client goals guide the work.

Online support

How approach and online options work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through clear steps and practice.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, or adding EMDR or mindfulness tools when trauma or strong reactions are part of the picture.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text let people send updates or try brief coaching between sessions. Those options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping a steady path toward goals.
