About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Ivester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, addiction, trauma and anger. Kim writes simply and directly; she helps people understand what is getting in the way of everyday functioning and practical relationships.
Her approach mixes several familiar methods. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break down thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of physical and emotional reactions.
Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work, helping people see patterns that repeat across relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for concrete goals and short-term shifts, like improving sleep or managing strong reactions at work.
In sessions she talks through how beliefs, feelings, and actions connect, and then tries out practical steps to change what isn’t working. She avoids labels and focuses on specific problems people bring, such as impulsive anger or ongoing resentment.
Kim supports people through life changes, grief, and career transitions, as well as issues around intimacy, body image, and caregiver stress. She offers direct, steady guidance and helps people develop tools they can use between appointments.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps surface what matters most and guide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete parts and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice physical and emotional reactions before they escalate.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust direction as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, try brief coaching between longer sessions, and practice techniques in real life with guidance during the appointment.
