Kimberly Ennis , LCSW

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and U.S. Army veteran with 15 years of clinical experience. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker she has advanced graduate training and state licensure to provide clinical therapy, and she brings that background to work with people from a wide range of cultures and life situations. Her experience in diverse settings has shaped a practice that pays close attention to culture and environment as important parts of healing.

She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, and she holds licensure in the state of North Carolina. Kimberly uses a client-focused, strengths-based approach and draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients meet their goals.

Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and other complex situations. Kimberly approaches therapy as a collaborative journey grounded in trust and vulnerability, and she aims to create a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and inclusive space for everyone she works with.

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can benefit relationship and anger challenges. For trauma-related symptoms, EMDR is part of her clinical toolkit and can be used to support processing of distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors interventions so the chosen methods fit the individual rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home or another convenient location, and maintain continuity of support across life changes.
