Kimberly Averett is a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience. She practices in Mississippi and focuses on helping people navigate hard life moments. She makes space for honest conversation and aims to help people move toward a more satisfying life.
Clients come with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship trouble, and self esteem struggles. Kimberly also supports people facing parenting and family challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and eating or body-image difficulties. She brings steady experience when practical coping and clearer perspective are needed.
Her style is warm and direct. She creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can name feelings and try new ways of coping. Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there. She values listening first, then working together to set useful goals.
Kimberly uses several approaches to match a person’s needs. That can include client-centered work to follow the person’s pace, cognitive behavioral ideas to tackle unhelpful thinking and behavior, narrative work to reframe difficult stories, and trauma-focused methods when past hurt affects day-to-day life. She has 23 years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is straightforward and focused on finding practical, manageable changes.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It lets the client set the pace and bring up the issues they want to work on, useful for building trust and tackling self esteem or relationship worries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. It is useful when past events or family patterns shape how someone sees themselves and their choices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different methods translate well to remote work: CBT can include practical homework, client-centered conversations carry over to video or phone, and narrative work can use written or verbal storytelling exercises. Discuss format details when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
