Kimberly Ennis, LCSW

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She combines practical therapy methods with a focus on relationships and everyday challenges. Kimberly keeps sessions direct and collaborative to help people move through stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness in her work. Those tools are used to help with trauma, depression, self-esteem, and addiction concerns. Kimberly pays attention to how a person's culture and environment shape their experience.

Kimberly trained in psychology and social work at East Carolina University and holds an LCSW in North Carolina. Her background includes service in the United States Army and work across varied settings, which inform a practical approach to care. She favors a strengths-based style that helps people identify what already works for them.

In sessions she aims for a calm, respectful tone and clear goals. People can expect straightforward strategies for coping, emotion regulation, and relationship challenges. She also uses trauma-focused tools when past events continue to cause distress.

Therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Kimberly helps people set goals, try changes, and adapt plans as needed. Those interested should confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and using online sessions

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can change mood and stress. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can use between sessions.

She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying values and taking small steps toward what matters despite difficult feelings. ACT can help when life changes or ongoing distress make choices feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide which techniques are used.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing practical needs during the first step helps shape a schedule that fits everyday life.
