About Kimberly

Kimberly Averett is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of practice. She works from Mississippi and brings 23 years of experience helping people facing addiction, grief, relationship strain, and mood concerns. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and steady.

Her style is direct and warm. She creates an open space where people can talk without judgment. Sessions focus on what matters now and practical ways to move forward.

Background and approach

Kimberly draws from Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses Client-Centered approaches to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to spot and shift patterns that keep problems stuck.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and parenting stress. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English, and online formats such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging are available.

Kimberly describes therapy as a partnership where goals are set together and adjusted over time.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Kimberly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and to rewrite painful or limiting life stories. This approach is useful for grief, identity concerns, and issues where a personal narrative keeps someone stuck.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around the person’s own priorities and pace. That means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when clients want concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and comfort level. Plans can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options increase flexibility and let people choose what works best for their routine.
