Kimberly Washington, LCSW

Kimberly Washington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 21 years in social work and counseling. She draws on long experience in substance use programs, nonprofit transitional living work, child welfare contracting, parent education, and independent practice. Kimberly focuses on helping people carry less of the pain that keeps them stuck.

She helps people who are dealing with addictions, relationship strain, intimacy issues, and jealousy. She also supports those facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Drug and alcohol addiction and concerns around infidelity are named areas of attention in her practice.

Kimberly uses several counseling approaches to tailor support to each person. She often uses client-centered conversations to listen and reflect what matters most. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions are framed as heart-to-heart conversations where people can say what they are carrying and find practical ways to move forward. She aims to replace paralyzing beliefs with steps that feel doable.

Clients come to work through past hurts that show up as anxiety, anger, isolation, or substance use. Kimberly’s background includes outpatient substance treatment, group and individual counseling, and work with court-referred clients. She brings that practical experience into each session.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people make sense of what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to set their own goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to try between meetings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and patterns that feed addiction or relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person’s life.
