About Kim
Kim Keller is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 17 years of experience helping people navigate addiction and mental health challenges. She emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth counseling relationship that centers the client as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Her practice focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns while drawing out strengths clients already possess to support lasting change. Clients often arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed by strong emotions, or unsure how to move forward after repeated patterns or crises.
Kim combines empathy with gentle challenge to help people build practical tools for coping, manage stress, and address concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. Her work also attends to issues like attachment difficulties, chronic illness, codependency, and finding life purpose.
Kim aims to create space for growth that honors each person’s identity and values, offering support for recovery, emotional regulation, and rebuilding connection. She encourages realistic, achievable steps toward goals such as restoring relationships, reducing the hold of addictive behaviors, improving self-esteem, and increasing day-to-day wellbeing.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Kim integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people change unhelpful thinking and build values-driven action. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult inner experiences while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can be helpful for chronic stress, avoidance, and emotional suffering.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she treats selection as a collaborative conversation. Together the therapist and client assess goals, preferences, and daily realities to decide whether CBT techniques, ACT practices, or a blend of methods will best support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to each person’s needs while adapting as goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into busy lives, maintain momentum between meetings, and access regular support from licensed professionals without changing location.
