Kimberly Corts

Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, caregiver strain, life transitions, and aging concerns. Kim aims to build short-term plans that teach skills and solve problems over a few months.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people change patterns that cause pain. Sessions are collaborative - the therapist brings clinical skills and the person brings their values and life experience. Kim can include a Christian perspective when asked, but she does not make that the default.

Her style is calm and approachable. She keeps sessions nonjudgmental and aims to offer respect, encouragement, and gentle challenge. Humor is used when it fits and feels helpful.

Kim focuses on short-term work of roughly three to six months for skill-building and problem solving. Typical topics include coping with caregiver stress, adjusting to major life changes, managing anxiety or anger, and navigating grief or chronic illness.

Clients who want clear tools, practical strategies, and a collaborative plan will likely find her approach useful. She works to tailor interventions to each person’s goals and daily life, so sessions stay focused and time-limited when that is the agreed plan.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters and act toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach can be useful for anger, depression, and managing daily stress.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative so you and the therapist decide together which methods fit your needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. They can also let people use exercises and mindfulness practice from wherever they are, making it simpler to apply new skills between meetings.
