About Kimberly

Kimberly Washington brings more than two decades of social work experience to her practice. She holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work Administration from the University of Chicago and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW. Kimberly focuses on helping people who feel stuck by talking through the hurts that keep them from moving forward.

She works with adults who are coping with addiction, relationship and intimacy problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She also helps people dealing with grief, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and family concerns. Additional focus areas include drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity, and jealousy. In sessions Kimberly keeps the tone direct and compassionate.

She listens for the core hurt and then helps people challenge unhelpful beliefs. Her style blends practical strategies with time to tell the story of what happened. That mix aims to reduce symptoms and make daily life more manageable.

Her background includes work in outpatient substance abuse treatment, transitional living programs for single mothers, independent living settings, and contracts with child protective services. She has led both individual and group counseling across these settings. These experiences inform how she tailors care to each person's situation.

Kimberly typically uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused approaches when they fit the issue at hand.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy places the person and their experience at the center of conversation. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to build understanding and trust. This approach helps when people need someone to hear their story without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and addictive behaviors.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by telling and reshaping their story. It can shift perspective on past events and reduce the hold of shame or blame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical ways to stay consistent. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief reflections, or ongoing written work between sessions. These options help people access therapy in ways that match their schedule and comfort.
