About Kimberly
Kimberly Averett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She focuses on issues such as addictions, LGBT matters, family concerns, grief and loss, parenting stress, anxiety, and trauma. Kimberly works with adults who are facing life changes and relationship strain at home.
She favors straightforward conversation and helps people name the problems that feel most urgent. Sessions are practical and focused on what someone can do between meetings. Kimberly uses approaches that help people rethink unhelpful patterns and build small, achievable changes.
Her work includes support around mood concerns like depression, coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress, and struggles with eating or self-esteem. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, and concerns related to aging and hospice or end-of-life matters. Kimberly lists ADHD, forgiveness work, and gender dysphoria among areas she attends to.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her adapt to practical problems and to deeper wounds. Conversations move between present-focused problem solving and examining the stories people tell about themselves.
Kimberly offers care in English and practices in Mississippi. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session are used to set goals and the first steps forward.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It supports people who need a space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time from structured skill work to exploring personal narratives as needs change.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to keep appointments around parenting or work, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to deliver focused CBT exercises, narrative work, or client-centered conversation in a way that fits everyday schedules.
