Kimberly Tawney

Kimberly Tawney is a licensed clinical social worker who brings three years of professional therapy experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, grief, anxiety, anger, and mood-related concerns. Her work emphasizes clear, practical steps clients can use between sessions. Before licensure she spent many years in roles supporting people with acute mental health needs and life stressors. That background shaped her preference for straightforward tools and steady support. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small goals that feel achievable. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions tend to mix talk with skills practice so people leave with something to try. She uses techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and bring more calm into daily life. Kimberly pays attention to relationship and communication issues as they affect mood and stress. She also addresses things like body image, caregiver strain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. This makes her approach useful for people juggling multiple pressures. People working on relapse prevention, addictions, or self-harm behaviors are offered direct, practical planning and motivational support. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps and track progress over time. Sessions are offered in English from Maryland. The focus is on helping individuals find workable strategies, understand patterns, and move toward more steady functioning.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to what each person needs, helping them feel heard and understood while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and can help with depression, anxiety, anger, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick and adjust methods based on personal needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That process is ongoing and responsive to progress and feedback.
