About Kimberly
Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Mississippi with nine years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, parenting pressures, anger, career strain, and major life changes.
Her style is practical and client-centered. She focuses on building rapport and identifying strengths people can use right away. Sessions often look like problem-focused conversations that introduce small, doable steps rather than long lectures.
Kimberly blends practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused approaches with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She uses these to help people recognize patterns, notice triggers, and try different responses. Expect clear strategies for managing intense emotions and for rebuilding connections that matter to you.
Her background includes working with youth programs and running summer day treatment groups to teach functional living skills and address behavior. That work involved partnering with parents and communities to spot risk and resilience factors and to plan realistic interventions.
Clients who work with her can expect goal-oriented sessions that track small changes over time. She asks questions, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and reviews what worked. The emphasis is on steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How Kimberly uses practical approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and supports decisions people make about their goals and next steps. This approach is useful for sorting priorities and deciding what to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors to see what changes mood or reactions. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and anger-related patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and how those emotions affect close relationships. It can be useful when anger or hurt keeps repeating between people, and when the aim is to rebuild trust and understanding.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted based on what helps most in practice.
