About Kim

Kim Broadnax is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who brings 40 years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, career concerns, depression, ADHD, and adjustments that come with life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach combines practical strategies with a respectful, compassionate stance that honors each person's values and faith when relevant. Kim emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, working to create an environment where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

She draws on evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, while remaining attentive to each person’s unique story and goals. Her additional interests include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and family of origin problems, forgiveness, finding life purpose, seasonal affective disorder, and practices that support self-love.

Throughout long experience, Kim has maintained a client-centered orientation that centers dignity and practical coping skills, aiming to support meaningful change and greater day-to-day resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online options



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and testing new patterns of behavior to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it is often useful for stress, depression, and goal-directed change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and supports clients in exploring their values and decisions; this approach helps people feel heard and build self-trust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods over time so interventions fit the client’s needs and pace. Together they evaluate what helps and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and allow people to engage from their own environments. These options support continuity of care for those balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations while preserving a regular, therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
