Kimberly "Kim" Ivester, LPC

Kimberly "Kim" Ivester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 24 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, addictions, grief, and other life changes. Kim focuses on helping clients regain balance and feel more like themselves.

Her style is warm and engaging. Sessions aim to be respectful and nonjudgmental, with conversation that uncovers how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact. She avoids stigmatizing labels and partners with clients to set practical goals.

Kim uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques for shifting unhelpful thinking, psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past, and client-centered work that follows the client’s pace. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas also appear when they fit the goal.

In practice this means talking through current struggles, trying small behavior changes, and reflecting on patterns that keep repeating. Sessions can address intimacy issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping after trauma or loss.

Kim asks clients to be active partners. Together they build a plan that targets immediate concerns while also working on longer-term growth. She encourages practical steps people can use between sessions to make steady progress.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Many clients find cognitive behavioral techniques helpful for breaking down unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical steps to shift thinking and test what works in daily life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Client-centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps people feel understood while they set their own goals and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session. Plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and practical arrangements to find a rhythm that works for everyday life.
