Kimberly Qualls, LMSW, LICSW

Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns including jealousy. She meets people where they are and focuses on strengths when working toward change. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to help clients find practical steps they can use right away.

She uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions build on a person's goals and values rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her practice to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness tools are also used to help people understand emotions and calm racing thoughts.

Kimberly brings nine years of experience in social work settings. Early in her career she led summer day treatment groups and ran therapeutic activities to teach functional living skills. That work included behavioral supports for young people and close collaboration with parents.

Her background includes identifying risk and resilience factors across individuals, peer groups, schools, and communities. She draws on that experience when helping people figure out realistic steps for change. Sessions focus on building a strong rapport, celebrating progress, and trying small, testable strategies in day-to-day life.

People who want straightforward guidance about coping, relationships, parenting concerns, or life transitions may find her practical style helpful. For those worried about trauma, addictions, ADHD, or intimacy-related issues, she offers a steady, problem-solving approach that centers each person's priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kimberly commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and values. That approach centers what matters to the client and helps shape practical steps that feel relevant to daily life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy can be used when emotions and attachment patterns are getting in the way of relationships, helping people name feelings and respond differently.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, listen to your goals, and adjust methods based on what works best for you. Clients try approaches and give feedback so the plan can change over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access licensed professionals without travel time. It can also help when quieter surroundings or less screen time are needed, since different formats offer practical trade-offs.
