About Kimberly
Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience based in Tennessee. She focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes short-term work aimed at building skills and solving specific problems.
Kim uses a collaborative approach that blends what she has learned over her career with each person’s values and priorities. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions may include practical exercises, small behavioral experiments, and conversations about values and goals.
Kim is comfortable including a Christian perspective when requested, though she does not use that as her standard approach. She offers focused work over a few months rather than open-ended therapy. This can help people practice new ways of handling anger, stress, or difficult life changes and then reassess how they are doing.
She describes her clinical stance as relaxed and nonjudgmental, with an intent to be respectful and straightforward. People who want clear tools and direct conversation often find this approach useful. Humor and normalizing difficult feelings are part of how she communicates when appropriate.
Her specialties also include relationship concerns, parenting challenges, depression, bipolar-related issues, and caregiving for older adults. She aims to help people develop coping skills, reduce reactive patterns, and make concrete changes they can use in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kim frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in short-term, skills-focused work. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses small experiments to change how people react. Mindfulness practices teach attention skills and simple breathing or awareness exercises that can reduce reactivity and help with anger and stress.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters to the person and to find practical next steps. That approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure which changes to try first, and it pairs well with skill practice from CBT and mindfulness.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, lifestyle, and how they respond to different exercises. Sessions focus on concrete skills, short practice assignments, and regular review to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and apply them in daily life.
