About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience. She trained in social work and has worked in a range of clinical settings. Kim practices from Kentucky and speaks English for therapy sessions.

Background and approach
She also directed a local homeless shelter for several years and has experience with trauma and substance-related concerns. In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. Kim draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn coping skills.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those approaches suit the issue at hand. Clients can expect straightforward work on problems like anxiety, stress, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, anger, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Kim also supports people managing ADHD, addiction, and life changes.
She pays attention to issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care, and body image. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set steps they can try between sessions and checks progress regularly.
The aim is to find practical tools that fit each person’s life and needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT typically involves practical exercises and short homework tasks that transfer easily to video or messaging sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT tools can be practiced during calls and reviewed over text or chat for ongoing skill building.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused work, or Trauma-Focused Therapy fits best, and they adjust as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual aids. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send notes, practice techniques between meetings, or get brief coaching without scheduling a full session. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, travel, or different comfort levels with being on camera.
