About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Davis brings a long history in social work to her current psychotherapy practice. She holds a master’s degree in social work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Kim has 16 years of experience in roles across clinical care and program leadership in Kentucky.
Her career includes work at a military base with a focus on patterns of human behavior and post-traumatic stress. She has directed behavioral health programs at hospitals and substance use treatment centers.
Background and approach
She also led a local homeless shelter for several years and has experience in crisis unit settings. In sessions she speaks plainly and aims to make ideas easy to use. She helps people tackle relationship and intimacy concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems with sleep or anger.
She also helps people who are working through trauma, addiction, ADHD symptoms, and life changes. Her therapeutic approach draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused work. Kim tends to use concrete strategies and skills people can practice between sessions.
She works collaboratively to set goals and to track small changes over time. People who choose Kim can expect a direct, empathetic style. She aims to identify patterns that keep problems going and then build manageable steps to change them.
Sessions are offered in English and she sees clients in Kentucky as well as people connecting from other places.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kim often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. CBT uses clear steps and homework-like practice to build new habits and quick coping strategies.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy tools when people need skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for mood and emotion regulation in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets most people approximate an in-person conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera, and text formats make it simple to fit care around work or caregiving. These options help people keep continuity of care across different schedules and locations.
