About Kimberly
Kimberly Washington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of practice based in Texas. She concentrates on helping people who feel stuck by anger, grief, addiction, relationship pain, or major life changes. Her approach is direct and compassionate and aimed at helping people find relief and regain purpose.
She frames sessions as heart-to-heart conversations where clients can talk about what hurts and what they want to change. Kimberly uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to uncover patterns keeping people stuck.
Background and approach
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn different ways to respond. Her work has included outpatient substance use treatment, transitional living programs for single mothers, child welfare referrals, and independent practice. That range of settings informs how she helps people manage practical stressors and emotional wounds.
She also has experience leading group work and parent education. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step change. That can look like identifying triggers for anger, creating plans to reduce substance use, repairing trust after infidelity, or building healthier habits around work and parenting.
She checks in about what is working and adjusts plans as needed. Kimberly aims to make therapy understandable and usable. She invites people to bring the real problems they face and to try realistic strategies between sessions.
Progress is paced to the person's needs and readiness.

How Kimberly combines approaches for online care
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focused on small, testable changes that can reduce anger, anxiety, and patterns linked to substance use.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarify goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and choose or blend approaches that match those needs. The client and therapist decide collaboratively what to try and adjust plans over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, step planning, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum on goals.
