About Kimberly
Kimberly Tawney is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) with three years of clinical practice. She focuses on mood disorders, anxiety, grief, and relationship and family concerns. She also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem issues in her work.
She prefers plain conversation and practical steps. Sessions often center on understanding what feels most pressing and trying small, concrete changes. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Kimberly pays particular attention to the strains of caregiving, fatherhood concerns, and body image struggles when these show up. She also helps people dealing with guilt, isolation, emptiness, and difficulties with communication. Her experience includes supporting people with mood and personality disorders and those who have self-harmed.
Her style blends mindfulness practices with motivational interviewing to help people identify tangible goals and keep progressing between sessions. She listens for what people want to change and then tests practical ways to get there. Sessions move at a steady, understandable pace rather than through clinical jargon.
Kimberly works in Maryland and provides services in English. She does not work with international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Kimberly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to each person. That means listening first, clarifying priorities, and shaping sessions around the client’s immediate concerns. This approach helps when someone needs someone to understand their daily struggles and decide next steps together.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers practical tools to test small changes, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work as brief exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process means goals and methods are revisited rather than fixed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving or work, allow a shorter check-in on busy days, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use these conveniences to make ongoing work more manageable while focusing on achievable steps.
