Kimberly Corts, LCSW - Therapist in Tennessee

About Kimberly

Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of practice. She works from Tennessee and focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, caregiver strain, and life transitions. Kimberly uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help clients build skills and move through difficult moments.

Her approach is collaborative. She blends techniques she has used for decades with each person’s values and priorities. Sessions are often short-term, aimed at skill-building and problem solving over a few months.

Background and approach

Kimberly leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to change unhelpful thinking, notice and steady strong feelings, and strengthen motivation to act in ways that match one’s goals. She can also incorporate Christian perspectives when a client requests that, though it is not her default method.

She emphasizes a calm, approachable presence in sessions. Kimberly says she will respect each person’s life and offers a no-judging stance while providing support, encouragement, and occasional challenge. Her work often centers on helping people improve coping, set priorities, and address practical problems.

Kimberly provides services through formats like video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies depending on location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that match those values, which can be useful for stress, life transitions, and motivation struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. It uses straightforward exercises and homework to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or relationship friction.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and bring steadiness to strong emotions. It pairs well with ACT and CBT for people who want practical ways to manage stress and stay present.

Choosing a method is a team effort. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a method for several weeks and adjusting as needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit skill-building and problem solving into a busy life, reduce travel time, and keep consistent contact between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same tools and exercises they would in person.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
