Kimberly Corts, LCSW

Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, caregiver strain, and life transitions. Kimberly focuses on short-term work aimed at building skills and solving practical problems over a few months.

Her approach is collaborative. She combines clinical techniques with each person's values and priorities. Sessions emphasize clear tools you can use between meetings. Kimberly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing techniques to guide that work.

She has a strong background supporting aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and fertility or divorce-related challenges. She also addresses relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career stress, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Kimberly adapts sessions to the person’s needs and preferences. When requested, she can incorporate a Christian perspective, though it is not her default approach. She aims to be calm, approachable, and nonjudgmental in sessions.

Clients can expect direct yet compassionate feedback, encouragement, and practical assignments. The focus is on measurable steps and skills that can help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Kimberly works with people who want targeted, time-limited support to meet clear goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult feelings while focusing on values-guided action. Client-centered techniques are part of her work too, which means she listens fully and follows the client's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods to match those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, ACT, client-centered work, or a mix will best support the client.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for ongoing coaching, quick strategy reminders, and flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life demands.
