About Kimberly
Kimberly DePue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and problems with self-esteem. She presents as warm and non-judgmental and focuses on improving daily wellbeing. Kimberly aims to help people who feel stuck find new ways to cope when their usual strategies no longer work.
She believes relationships with ourselves and others shape how we feel. Trauma, addiction, loneliness, illness, and fear can interfere with those relationships.
Background and approach
Kimberly talks with clients about how these events affect coping, self-image, and connections with others. She offers calm support during emotional moments. Her background includes work with addiction and trauma, and she uses that experience to guide people through intense feelings.
Kimberly helps people increase self-awareness so they can learn practical skills and new perspectives. That often includes noticing patterns that keep them feeling anxious or isolated and trying alternatives. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and building steps that fit daily life.
Kimberly aims to repair how people relate to themselves first, and then to others if that is something the person wants. She uses straightforward language and keeps conversations grounded in everyday concerns. Kimberly practices in North Carolina and provides care in English.
Her approach is collaborative and steady, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term change.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Kimberly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on processing difficult experiences and building new coping habits. One common approach she uses helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then try small, practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This kind of work is useful for stress, social anxiety, and low self-esteem. Another approach centers on processing the impact of trauma and relational ruptures by guiding people through intense emotions and helping them make sense of past events. That work supports people who have experienced abuse, addiction-related struggles, or lasting fear.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, then adjusts techniques as needed. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful and which steps to try first, with regular check-ins on progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face while saving travel time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
