About Kimberly
Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, life transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, and related issues such as anger and relationship strain.
She uses a collaborative style that combines her clinical knowledge with each person's values and priorities. Sessions are aimed at short-term skill building and practical problem solving, often planned for three to six months. She can incorporate Christian perspectives when a client requests that approach.
Kim often uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing attention and breathing skills. Conversations are direct but relaxed, with space for humor when it fits.
People seeking help for stress, parenting strain, career frustration, chronic illness, or shifting life roles will find work on concrete coping tools. She also addresses grief, depression, bipolar concerns, intimacy issues, and fertility or caregiver-related distress.
Kim maintains a nonjudgmental stance and aims to respect each person's experience while offering support and challenge. Her focus on short-term, skills-based work appeals to people who want clear steps to handle anger, reduce reactivity, and manage everyday pressures.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting swept up in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for managing anger that comes from stuck rules or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to reduce reactivity and improve mood. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals and preferences, combining elements from different approaches when helpful. That collaborative planning helps shape session content, homework, and what short-term skill-building looks like.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and then discuss what helped or didn’t after trying them out.
