Kimberly Ennis

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and aims to create a respectful, inclusive space where people feel heard and understood.

She focuses on common and painful struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and anger. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar concerns, and life transitions. Kimberly pays attention to how culture and environment affect each person she meets.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in social work from East Carolina University. She is licensed in North Carolina and has worked in a range of settings over her career. That experience shapes how she adapts care to different needs and circumstances.

Kimberly uses practical, evidence-informed methods in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mindfulness approaches to help people build skills and make change.

Therapy with Kimberly is collaborative. She works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to develop tools for day-to-day life. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts tools as needed so therapy feels relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during short breaks. They also let people use mindfulness exercises, skills training, and trauma processing work from wherever they are able to join. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises to match the realities of someone’s daily routine.
