About Kimberly
Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Mississippi with nine years of experience. She works with adults on stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family-related issues, and other life challenges such as grief, addiction, ADHD, and career stress.
Her approach centers on client-centered care and building a strong working relationship. Sessions focus on strengths, clear goals, and practical steps. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Kimberly has experience running day treatment activities that taught living skills and addressed behavioral problems with children and connecting regularly with parents. That background informs how she talks with adults about parenting, family stress, and managing behavior-related challenges at home.
She looks for risk and resilience factors across people’s lives and uses that information to shape intervention ideas. Conversations are likely to include skill-building, problem-solving, and emotion work aimed at making daily routines less strained.
Clients who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, practical tools, and a focus on what can change now. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kimberly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and shaping sessions around the person's concerns. It helps when someone needs a responsive space to talk through what is happening at home. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy in cases where understanding attachment and emotional responses is important. EFT helps people notice how emotions influence interactions and can guide changes in how someone relates to others in close relationships. Together these approaches give tools for both immediate coping and longer-term behavior change, and Kimberly will work with each person to choose what fits best.
