Kimberly Qualls

Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and many life changes. She focuses on strengths and building a trusting connection so people can take practical steps forward. Kimberly uses down-to-earth conversation to help clients name problems and try new ways of coping.

Her approach centers on client-centered work and mindfulness practices. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to each person's situation. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thinking, practicing grounding skills, and setting small, achievable goals.

Kimberly brings nine years of experience in social work settings. Early in her career she led summer day treatment groups and activities that taught everyday living skills and addressed behavior for children and adolescents. That background informs how she identifies risk and resilience across home, school, and community contexts.

She has worked closely with parents while supporting young people, so she understands common family stresses and parenting strain. Kimberly is comfortable discussing relationship struggles, grief, addiction concerns, attention and focus difficulties, anger, and issues around intimacy or money.

Clients can expect a collaborative, practical focus. Kimberly helps people weigh options, set realistic steps, and build tools they can use between sessions. She welcomes conversations about what someone hopes to change and how best to get there.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that bring awareness to the present moment. It can help with anxiety, stress, and managing overwhelming feelings by teaching small skills to use during daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace. This approach helps clarify what matters most to the person and supports self-directed change through collaborative conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions use practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, mood, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust strategies as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, reduce the time needed for a visit, or allow sessions from a quieter space.
