About Kimberly

Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma, and depression. She offers a calm, practical approach and focuses on building a strong rapport. Her style centers on strengths and helping people move forward one step at a time.

Kimberly uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and tailor the pace to each person.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Her background includes nine years in clinical practice across Mississippi. Early in her career she led summer day treatment groups and activities that taught daily living skills and addressed behavioral challenges.

Those roles included regular contact with parents and caregivers, which shaped her practical approach to problem solving. Kimberly pays attention to risk and resilience factors in people and their communities. That perspective informs plans that look beyond symptoms to everyday routines and supports.

She helps people develop strategies for coping, communication, and stress management. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs. Kimberly aims to help people make steady changes they can maintain.

She welcomes working with a wide range of concerns related to relationships, grief, addiction, identity, and life transitions.

How Kimberly's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered work is about listening and adapting to what matters most to each person. It helps when someone needs a therapist who will follow their lead and focus on practical goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide whether to move forward with client-centered work, CBT, or a mix of methods so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face when a longer session or visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers no video. Live chat or text-based messaging works for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping progress on track between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, errands, parenting, or travel.
