About Kimberly
Kimberly Richards is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) credential and practices in Michigan. She brings a faith-informed perspective alongside practical therapy skills.
Her approach is warm and interactive. She centers conversations on each person's goals and priorities and treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and build confidence.
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Solution-Focused techniques guide focused goal-setting and quick skill practice.
She has extensive experience addressing grief, parenting challenges, relationship issues, addiction concerns, mood struggles such as depression and bipolar disorder, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, adoption and foster care questions, and identity issues like codependency or avoidant tendencies.
Kimberly describes the work as collaborative: she listens first, then helps people pick practical tools that fit their daily life. She aims to help people strengthen self-esteem and coping so they can move forward with greater calm and clarity.
