About Kim
Kim Keller is a licensed master social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage difficult emotions and life changes. She takes a down-to-earth, collaborative approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her focus includes anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, and relationship struggles among other concerns.
Kim uses empathy and straightforward feedback to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. She supports clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted by coping strategies that no longer work.
Background and approach
The goal is practical change people can use day to day. Sessions often start by identifying what matters most to the person and what small steps might move them toward those goals. Kim draws on mindfulness and cognitive tools to reduce worry and build emotional flexibility.
She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change when habits or substance use get in the way. People come for relief from anxiety, stress, mood swings, or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Kim also supports those dealing with chronic pain, grief, co-occurring conditions, and compassion fatigue.
She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps clients try different ways of responding. Her style is practical and warm, focused on what the person wants to try next. Kim helps clients set achievable goals and track progress.
She aims to make therapy feel useful from the first session.
How Kim’s approaches translate to online care
Kim commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a safe therapeutic relationship so people can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve mood, and change behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and how you prefer to work. Together you’ll try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful for your situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working toward goals from different places.
