About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She holds a LCSW and practices in Kentucky. Kim frames sessions around clear, practical steps so parents and caregivers can move forward when life feels overwhelming.
Clients find her straightforward. She explains tools in everyday language and focuses on what can change now. Her work often centers on relationship strain, intimacy matters, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and sleep problems.
Background and approach
Kim's background includes roles in hospital social work leadership, directing a substance abuse center, and working in crisis unit settings. She also spent several years running a local homeless shelter and has training related to patterns of human behavior and post-traumatic stress at Ft. Knox.
That variety of roles shaped a hands-on approach to emotional and practical problems. In sessions she uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - helping people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits - and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - teaching emotional regulation and coping skills.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harms are a central concern. Kim offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients who speak English may connect.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair people with her and then sessions are scheduled based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support
Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress or conflict, then practice new habits that work better day to day. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that affect relationships.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication during heated moments. DBT techniques are useful when strong emotions and recurring conflicts get in the way of parenting or partnership goals.
Choosing a method happens together. Kim will talk through goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit each person’s situation. The plan can change as needs evolve, keeping the focus on practical steps the family can use between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and childcare. Many parents find short messaging or phone check-ins helpful between longer sessions to keep skills on track and address immediate concerns.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
