About Kim
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Wisconsin with six years of experience. Kim Lawrence helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, parenting and family concerns, and self-esteem issues. She uses practical, goal-focused methods and works directly with adults affected by mental illness and trauma.
Kim takes a person-centered approach. She and the client set concrete goals and use a strength-based plan to make changes. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Her work draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means sessions often include skill practice, behavior-focused exercises, and conversations that help clarify motivation for change. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage strong emotions when appropriate.
Kim earned a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Health with a focus on holistic health. She describes ongoing learning as part of her practice and seeks new ideas through trainings and personal development.
In sessions, people should expect a direct, structured style that balances practical skills with reflective discussion. Kim focuses on what a person wants to achieve and breaks larger goals into manageable steps. This approach aims to make therapy usable in day-to-day life and trackable over time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most to the client and helps shape goals that fit the client’s life. It helps with general stress, motivation, and making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions often include short exercises and homework to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving coping. In remote sessions this can include practicing mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills adapted to everyday situations.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which approach or combination to try. Collaboration means checking what’s working and adjusting methods over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, skills practice, and brief behavioral tasks to remote sessions to keep therapy practical and focused.
