About Kimberly
Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. She offers clear, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or struggles with relationships and parenting. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at parents who need straightforward help now.
She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness work. Sessions focus on everyday skills - calming difficult thoughts, managing strong emotions, and setting small goals that fit family life.
Background and approach
Kimberly emphasizes cultural context and how a person's environment shapes their stress. Her background includes a social work education and long clinical experience in a range of settings. That experience guides a flexible style that adapts tools to each person's situation rather than fitting people to one method.
She values collaboration and works with clients to set clear, practical steps. Kimberly pays attention to how caregiving, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and life transitions add strain. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue that caregivers and professionals can face.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and restore daily routines. Therapy is offered from North Carolina and conducted in English. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions tied to personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with stress, anxiety, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a set of techniques used to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories and can support healing after trauma.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kimberly works with each person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or help between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and during life transitions.
