I have been practicing in the field of mental health since past 15 years. My personal experience with counseling was that there was a safe and non judgmental space, where someone was ethically and empathically devoted towards helping me find peace from chaos, find answers from the turmoil, and finally feel connected to my own self as a person. My primary modality in therapy sessions involves integrated approach, where in I incorporate Person Centered therapy modality to establish an empathetic, non-judgmental, genuinely caring and therapeutic environment where a person can feel safe, comfortable and supported to open up about their qualms and concerns. The other intervention modalities involve Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapies which facilitate the discussion and solution focused phase in the therapy session. My ideal client is anyone who is struggling with daily life stressors, trying to manage symptoms of clinical/non-clinical depression, and anxiety symptoms, sleep issues, PTSD symptoms, Grief, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Generational Trauma challenges, adjustment issues, struggling in academics, career and relationships. Parenting issues. I also specialize in women mental health, and in supporting Perinatal/PostPartum phase women. Overall my goal is to provide a safe space of therapy which provides support not just for the severe mental health, lifestyle and daily life issues and concerns, but also acts as a space for self care !

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you want to feel better and work on making changes in your life? If so, I can help. My name is Kimberly and I am a licensed therapist and social worker. I have over 20 years experience and can transfer my expertise to work with populations of adults and children. I’ve been working as a social worker since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2003, and I truly enjoy helping people navigate life’s challenges. Many of the individuals I work with are experiencing anxiety or depression and are looking for support, clarity, and practical ways to feel better. My therapy style is supportive and solution-focused. I draw from years of experience across different levels of mental health care to help clients identify meaningful goals and take steady, achievable steps toward them. My approach to therapy is practical and goal-oriented. Many people benefit from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and create meaningful change. Together, we focus on building effective strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and balance. In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and begin building a comfortable, collaborative relationship together.

Find a therapist near you in Covington, Kentucky

Finding a therapist near you in Covington, Kentucky starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Kentucky is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Kentucky, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Kentucky, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
