About Kim
Kim Lawrence is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma, addiction, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical tools that parents can use in day-to-day life. Her style is down-to-earth and goal oriented, with attention to each person’s strengths and values.
Her approach centers on building clear, person-centered goals. She uses a strength-based method to support steady change rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on what is useful and doable between meetings. Kim draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She blends these to match individual needs and to teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer thought patterns.
With six years of clinical experience, she has worked primarily with adults affected by mental illness and trauma. That background informs how she helps people navigate difficult transitions and symptoms that interfere with daily life. Kim earned a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and holds a Wisconsin LCSW.
She continues to pursue additional learning to bring practical ideas into sessions. Her aim is to help parents and individuals find steady strategies that fit their everyday routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. It involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what the individual says matters most, which helps when deciding practical steps for parenting or coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches tools to change both. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and developing problem-solving strategies that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and try methods that match the person's needs. Sessions can shift over time so the chosen strategies fit current challenges and daily routines.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or check in after trying a new skill. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical, skill-based work.
