About Kimberly

Kimberly Bennett is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and steady for people under stress.

She has a Master of Science and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings nine years of professional experience in Mississippi. That background includes helping people who face anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, sleep problems, anger, and career or relationship stress.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns like bipolar disorder, ADHD, and difficulties tied to life transitions. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to build coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and motivational interviewing when exploring deeper history or cultivating motivation for change.

Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. Her approach is interactive and solution-minded while keeping space for emotion and personal history. She aims to help people develop practical steps they can use between meetings and to strengthen daily routines.

The emphasis is on clear goals, steady progress, and respectful care. Kimberly offers several online session formats so people can choose what works best for them. She helps clients set goals, track progress, and adjust the plan as needs evolve.

How Kimberly blends approaches for online care

Kimberly regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with different behaviors. CBT is practical and skill focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing daily stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, especially for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly talks with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then adapts methods to fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills training, motivational strategies, or exploring past patterns together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people choose what fits their schedule and comfort level, and they make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy. The goal is to offer consistent, practical support that fits into everyday routines.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
