Kimberly Ennis

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Kimberly aims to create a caring, culturally aware atmosphere where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes.

She trained in psychology and social work at East Carolina University and later earned her LCSW in North Carolina. Her background includes work across different settings and populations, and she draws on that variety when she listens to each person’s story. Kimberly emphasizes cultural and environmental factors when thinking about problems and solutions.

In sessions, she uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness. Those methods guide practical strategies for managing symptoms and for building new habits. She works from a strengths-based, client-focused perspective and involves people in planning their care.

Kimberly has particular experience helping people with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, relationship stress, parenting strain, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness, and the upheaval that comes with major life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and steady, aimed at making change manageable.

People who choose Kimberly should expect clear conversation, concrete tools, and attention to how culture and daily life affect wellbeing. To begin, the therapist asks about goals and then tailors a plan that fits the individual’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take guided action toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behavior; it often helps with anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication so people can manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend elements from these approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing one method.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make attending therapy possible during transitions or when managing caregiving, health, or work commitments. Licensed professionals will work with each person to shape session length and focus so therapy fits everyday life.
