About Kimberly

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. Kimberly Corts focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, life transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, and related areas. She uses approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work.

Kimberly frames counseling as a collaborative effort. She combines practical skills from her clinical work with each client’s values and priorities. Sessions emphasize skill building and problem solving over a limited number of months when that fits the client’s goals.

Her work often centers on concrete coping strategies. That can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building mindfulness practices, and clarifying next steps for difficult life changes. She also addresses relationship strains, parenting stress, career questions, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving.

Kimberly can incorporate a Christian perspective when a client requests it, but she does not use that as her default approach. She aims to be nonjudgmental and straightforward, and she mixes supportive listening with gentle challenges to help clients try new behaviors.

Clients who prefer shorter, skills-focused therapy may find her approach useful. Her practice includes attention to mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns, as well as grief, fertility-related stress, and questions about life purpose or young adult transitions.

How Kimberly uses therapy methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions that align with those values. It is often used for stress, life transitions, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with grief, caregiver fatigue, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kimberly works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so the plan fits what a person wants to work on and how quickly they want skill-based change.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Ask about the specific session arrangements when you schedule so they match your schedule and practical needs.
