About Kimberly
Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience helping people navigate major life stresses. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on building practical skills for everyday challenges. Her style is calm and approachable, and she aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people feel respected and heard.
Kim uses a collaborative approach. She blends what she has learned over two decades with each person's values and priorities.
How Kimberly works
Sessions emphasize short-term skill building and problem solving, often planned in a 3 to 6 month timeframe. This makes work feel focused and goal oriented rather than open-ended. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes.
She also focuses on caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and disability, and parenting-related strain. Additional areas include relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, career decisions, and questions about life purpose. Kim draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
These approaches are used to teach concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts, managing strong emotions, and aligning actions with personal values. She can incorporate a Christian perspective if a person requests it, though it is not her default stance. People who prefer a calm, practical, and gently challenging style may find her approach a good fit.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online in several formats.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Work Online
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people make practical changes. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as they go. That collaboration helps match specific techniques to the problems you want to solve, whether managing anxiety, grief, or caregiver strain.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see facial cues and do guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit skill-building and problem-solving into a busy life.
