About Kimberly

Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW, LICSW) who focuses on practical, client-centered care for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, addictions, parenting challenges, and related issues.

Background and approach

She draws on strengths-based work and strong therapeutic rapport to help clients identify goals and build skills for everyday functioning. Her background includes experience supporting people through major life changes and navigating complex interpersonal problems such as infidelity, jealousy, codependency, domestic violence, and multicultural concerns.

Over nine years in practice, Kimberly has worked in settings that included leading day treatment groups where she taught functional living skills and addressed behavioral challenges with children and collaborated with parents and community systems. She applies evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring techniques to individual needs.

Kimberly practices in Mississippi and offers care in English, and she accepts international clients through online formats. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression, and distress related to life transitions. It often involves practical exercises and homework to apply skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps the client access their own strengths and solutions. This approach supports people working through grief, relationship challenges, self-worth, and motivation to change.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which combination of techniques fits their needs, preferences, and goals. That collaborative process may include trying different tools and adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kimberly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people with busy lives or limited local options. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across time zones and locations while focusing on skill practice, emotional processing, and problem-solving in ways that fit each client's routine.
