Kimberly Corts, LCSW

Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and aging and geriatric concerns. Kimberly combines practical skills with the priorities and values each person brings to counseling.

She aims for short-term work when appropriate, generally three to six months. Sessions emphasize skill-building and concrete problem solving rather than open-ended therapy. She uses ways of working drawn from cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Kimberly will include faith or a Christian perspective if a client requests it, but that is not her default approach. She frames counseling as a collaboration - the therapist’s experience and a person’s life knowledge matter equally. Conversations focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.

Her background includes helping people with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, intimacy-related questions, and career or vocational worries. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver burden, divorce and separation, and fertility-related stress.

In sessions she addresses mood-related issues such as depression, bipolar concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, guilt, shame, and the search for life purpose. Kimberly uses straightforward exercises and short-term plans to help people manage symptoms and move forward.
