About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Ivester is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with two decades plus of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, attention concerns, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Kim offers steady, respectful support and practical steps for people who want to feel more like themselves.
Kim's style is warm and direct. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name patterns that get in the way and try small changes to see what works.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Mindfulness practices are added when helpful to calm the body and focus attention.
Kim has worked in community and school settings for many years, helping people with parenting concerns, career and college questions, trauma and emotional abuse recovery, and caregiver stress. Her experience includes supporting people through major life changes and complex emotional wounds. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Kim and each client set clear, achievable steps and check progress regularly. The focus is on practical change that fits a client's daily life, not only discussion. She communicates plainly and keeps goals realistic.
People who want an experienced, compassionate counselor who balances insight with action may find her approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Kim blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that help reduce reactivity and improve sleep or focus.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kim will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and daily routines, then choose or combine methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans as progress is tracked so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or reflections between sessions. These options let people fit counseling into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
