Kimberly Averett, LCSW

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Kimberly often draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for each person's experience while helping them identify goals and make choices that fit their values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior changes. Narrative therapy is another tool in her work; it helps clients separate themselves from problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and considering alternative, more empowering narratives.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kimberly works with clients to explore which methods feel most useful for their circumstances, and she adapts techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and responses as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and health demands. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from different locations within Mississippi, and choose the communication style that best fits day-to-day life.
