About Kimberly
Kimberly Washington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 21 years of experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, grief, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also works specifically with drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity, and jealousy.
She helps people talk through past hurts and broken relationships that keep them worrying at night. Sessions address how unresolved pain shows up as anger, isolation, sleep problems, substance use, or difficulty at work and in relationships. Conversations are straightforward and focused on real-life problems.
Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral methods alongside Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to current patterns, the stories people tell about themselves, and how past experiences influence today. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set practical next steps between sessions.
Kimberly’s background includes work in substance abuse treatment, transitional living programs for single mothers, child welfare and court-mandated services, parent education, and private practice. Those roles shaped a pragmatic style aimed at reducing immediate stress and improving daily functioning.
When meeting someone new she starts by identifying the most pressing problems and what the person wants to change. Sessions often include talking through choices, testing small changes, and reviewing what worked. The emphasis is on usable tools for day-to-day life and steady progress over time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters most and decide next steps. It helps when someone needs clear, nonjudgmental conversation about relationships, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. It uses simple experiments and exercises to break unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, anger, substance use, and low self-esteem. Narrative Therapy separates people from their problems by examining the stories they tell about themselves. Rewriting those stories can reduce shame and open different choices around infidelity, jealousy, and relationship conflict. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process may combine listening, skill practice, story work, and short-term problem-solving. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.CAreas of focus
