About Kimberly
Kimberly Averett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She helps people manage addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anxiety. She also addresses eating concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and stress related to caregiving and life transitions.
She listens without judgment and works to make conversations straightforward and useful. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Kimberly frames goals around what will make everyday life more manageable and less overwhelming.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing family problems, adoption and foster care issues, and age-related caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life questions, and gender dysphoria concerns. That experience shapes how she notices patterns and offers concrete options.
Kimberly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She adapts these approaches into plain language and exercises people can use at home.
People who prefer clear goals and pragmatic strategies tend to fit her style. She explains options, checks in on progress, and adjusts plans when needed. To start, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can explore what matters most. It helps with feelings related to grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and self-esteem by starting from the person’s own goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. It gives practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address eating or addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. That conversation can take place in early sessions and guide whether more narrative work, CBT, or solution-focused steps are emphasized.
Confirm the specific session formats before you book, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use written exercises and homework between meetings to keep progress moving without adding extra appointments.
