About Kimberly
Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 15 years of practice. She uses grounded, practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. Kimberly keeps sessions focused and straightforward so someone worried can find immediate, useful steps.
Her work leans on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. She draws on these methods to help people manage painful memories, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build healthier habits day to day.
How Kimberly works
Sessions often include specific skills to try between meetings and gentle guidance in applying them. Kimberly emphasizes cultural and life context when shaping therapy. She aims to understand each person’s environment and history before recommending strategies.
That makes the plan feel relevant and doable rather than one-size-fits-all. She also supports people with relationship concerns, parenting strain, addictions, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Work can include practicing better communication, setting limits, or coping with loss and change.
Kimberly uses a strengths-based outlook that highlights what someone already does well. Therapy with Kimberly is collaborative. She helps people set goals and checks in on progress.
Practical tools, clear steps, and steady support are central to her approach.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and moving forward after losses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and habits that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises and practice tasks to reduce anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured processing of distressing memories and can ease trauma symptoms when done step by step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Sessions are collaborative so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or use brief coaching tools during a busy day. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while still using ACT, CBT, or EMDR techniques.
