About Kimberly

Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who brings 16 years of professional experience to her psychotherapy work.

Background and approach

She trained in social work at Campbellsville University and has a background that includes leadership roles in hospital social work, substance abuse treatment, crisis units, and homeless services. These roles shaped her clinical outlook and contributed to extensive training in behavioral analysis and work with trauma-related concerns at Ft.

Knox. Kim focuses on helping people navigate trauma and addiction alongside a broad range of relationship and emotional concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, intimacy and family-related issues, and challenges such as ADHD and sleep problems.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral techniques as well as dialectical strategies, solution-focused tools, and trauma-focused methods to help clients build coping skills and address patterns that interfere with daily life. Clients can expect a practical, strengths-oriented approach grounded in years of clinical experience and diverse settings.

Kim accepts international clients and works through multiple remote session formats, offering flexibility while tailoring care to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Kim uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems. She also incorporates trauma-focused methods to address the effects of past harm and to develop coping skills that reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts interventions over time so therapy fits each person’s situation rather than applying a single method from the start.

Online therapy with Kim is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes ongoing work more flexible for people with varied schedules or geographic constraints. These formats support skill practice between sessions and allow clients to stay engaged in therapy while balancing other responsibilities.
