About Kimberly

Kimberly Ennis uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - based in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. Kimberly focuses on helping people find ways to cope when life becomes overwhelming.

Her work emphasizes skills people can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps with intense emotions and building steadier routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for people who carry trauma symptoms that interfere with daily life. Kimberly pays attention to culture and environment and how those shape a person’s struggles.

She takes a strengths-based, client-focused stance and partners with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with concrete strategies and small steps to try at home. She has a background that spans multiple settings and populations, which informs how she tailors care.

People bring a mix of concerns - depression, addictions, parenting stress, chronic illness, or grief - and she pulls from different methods to match those needs. Her approach is collaborative; she helps people decide what feels most useful. Kimberly completed a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work at East Carolina University.

The LCSW credential indicates licensure in North Carolina. Her experience includes supporting people through major life changes and ongoing mental health challenges.

Online support

How Kimberly’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while letting go of unhelpful struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for people who experience intense feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable. She checks in about progress and adjusts strategies so the work fits the person’s life. Online sessions make it easier to get consistent care when schedules are tight or travel is difficult. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to exchange brief updates, homework, and notes between appointments, which helps keep momentum between sessions.
