About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work from Campbellsville University and maintains Kentucky LCSW credentials. Kim combines clinical work with years in leadership roles in healthcare and community services.
Her path includes time as a social work director at a hospital, clinical director at a substance abuse center, and behavioral health therapist in crisis units.
Background and approach
She also served as director of a local homeless shelter for more than four years. Those roles shaped her practical, real-world approach to care. Kim focuses on trauma and substance use concerns while also helping people with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, anger, and addiction.
She supports people working through relationship and intimacy questions, communication problems, and life changes. ADHD, attachment issues, and caregiver stress are also within her experience. In sessions she uses clear, direct methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques.
Kim aims to help people identify patterns, build coping skills, and test small changes between sessions. Conversations are goal-oriented and practical. Her background in military-related behavioral health and crisis settings informs her work with people coping with trauma and high-stress situations.
Kim emphasizes realistic steps people can take to feel steadier and more capable day to day.
Online approaches that focus on skills and healing
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by practicing new behaviors and thought patterns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can be useful when strong emotions, anger, or relationship difficulties get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Treatment is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging, which makes scheduling easier around work, family, or other commitments. Phone or chat can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or time is limited. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction when that is preferred. Text and messaging let people share notes, ask quick questions, and keep momentum between longer sessions.
