About Kimberly
Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and aging and geriatric issues, and also addresses parenting, relationship concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
She uses practical, skills-based work to help people manage day-to-day strain. Sessions often center on learning tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, practicing mindfulness, and using motivational interviewing to find next steps. Kim describes her practice as collaborative and aims to blend her experience with each person’s values and priorities.
Kim prefers short-term work for many clients, typically for three to six months, focused on problem solving and building skills. She can incorporate a Christian perspective on request, although that is not her default way of working. She emphasises respect and a nonjudgmental attitude in sessions.
Her background includes helping people with caregiver burnout, chronic illness and disability, divorce and separation, fertility concerns, and issues that come up in middle and later life. She also supports adults coping with parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, guilt, shame, and career questions.
Kim draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide practical steps. People who want clear tools and a collaborative approach may find her way of working straightforward and focused.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when hard feelings are present. It often helps with stress, anxiety, life changes, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own motivations and ambivalence to support change, which can be useful for habit shifts, career or caregiving choices, and readiness for new routines.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kim takes a collaborative approach and will help figure out which techniques match a person’s goals and preferences. She uses the client’s values and daily demands to guide whether sessions emphasize skills training, reflective work, or short-term problem solving.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, schedule shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. A brief conversation during the first appointment will also determine how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life and responsibilities.
