Kimberly Ennis , LCSW

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of professional experience. She brings additional perspective as a veteran of the United States Army and has worked across diverse settings with people from many backgrounds. That experience informs her view that culture and environment are essential considerations in effective therapy, and she aims to provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and inclusive space for those she supports.

Kimberly is licensed in the State of North Carolina and holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. She practices from a client-focused, strengths-based framework and draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each individual. Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy, applied with attention to each person’s needs and goals.

Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and grief, and she has a particular interest in supporting people who are coping with post-traumatic stress. Kimberly approaches therapy as a collaborative journey built on trust and vulnerability, working with clients to identify strengths, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical strategies to change day-to-day reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be particularly useful for people who struggle with emotional ups and downs or conflict in relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that supports the processing of distressing memories and the reduction of their emotional impact. It is often chosen by clients seeking targeted work on traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors care over time, combining techniques when appropriate to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and conducted. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access support from home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that fits their lifestyle. This range of options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.
