Kimberly "Kim" Ivester, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Kimberly

Kimberly "Kim" Ivester is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience in Georgia. She focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other life challenges and offers a calm, respectful approach. Kim speaks English and keeps conversations direct and practical so parents can use what they learn right away.

Kim draws from several proven methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce stress and increase focus during busy family life. Her background includes long work in community and school settings, helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. That experience informs straightforward guidance for everyday problems like sleep, parenting frustrations, and communication breakdowns.

In sessions she concentrates on practical steps and gradual change. She helps clients name patterns that cause pain and test small, manageable shifts in thinking or routine. Progress is tracked against personal goals rather than labels.

Kim emphasizes collaboration when planning care. She listens first, then suggests tools such as thought records, grounding exercises, or short behavioral experiments. The aim is to make improvements that fit real family schedules and daily life.

Approaches that translate to online family support

Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping people feel heard and shaping goals that matter to their day-to-day family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or ease parenting stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase presence during challenging moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through concerns, try methods that fit the person’s preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process lets the client and therapist find practical strategies that fit family routines and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow quick check-ins between appointments, and support consistent progress even when life is hectic.

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.

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.
