Kimberly Washington, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Kimberly

Kimberly Washington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 21 years of experience. She focuses on emotional healing and helps people carrying heavy pain from past hurts and broken relationships. She speaks plainly and offers steady support to parents and caregivers looking for practical ways to cope.

Her work emphasizes restoring hope and improving daily life. Kimberly sees many ways old wounds show up - anger, isolation, sleep problems, substance use, and strained relationships.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what causes the most distress. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and to find manageable steps forward. Her clinical training includes a Master of Social Work in Clinical Social Work Administration from The University of Chicago.

She holds a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. Over two decades she has worked in outpatient substance treatment, transitional living programs, child services referrals, and independent practice settings. In sessions she combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic ideas and client-centered conversation.

That means she helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts, while also looking at the life story behind recurring patterns. The goal is both immediate relief and longer-term emotional repair. Kimberly offers individual support that is practical and compassionate.

She guides people through grief, relationship pain, addiction concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue, and other life changes. Her approach is to listen carefully, name the problem, and work together on clear next steps.

Therapy approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist offers a caring space where the person sets the pace and topics, which can help with grief, low self-worth, and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, anger, and patterns that feed substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kimberly will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration guides the focus and pace of sessions so the plan matches personal preferences and practical concerns.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep support between appointments. They also let people connect from different locations in Texas without commuting to an office, keeping work consistent with life demands.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
