About Kimberly

Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history in behavioral health. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work from Campbellsville University and brings years of practice to therapy sessions. Kim practices with directness and warmth and aims to make therapy understandable and practical.

Her background includes roles in hospitals and substance abuse centers, and experience working in crisis units. Kim also directed a local homeless shelter for more than four years, which shaped how she approaches stress, trauma, and complex life challenges. This history informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her main approaches. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and trauma-focused strategies when those approaches fit a person's needs. In sessions she helps people for things like anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger, and relationship or intimacy worries.

People who meet with Kim can expect straightforward work on thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. She focuses on small, practical steps that can make daily life more manageable. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and clear takeaways to try between meetings.

Kim offers therapy through multiple online formats and engages in collaborative treatment planning. She aims to match methods and pacing to each person's goals, helping them build skills and regain a sense of control over stressful problems.

How Kim Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication skills, which can help with intense emotions, relationship struggles, and self-management.



Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kim works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. That may mean combining CBT with trauma-focused strategies or adding skill-based DBT work depending on what helps most.



Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in everyday life.
