About Kimberly
Kimberly Robinson is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm, direct, and respectful, with an emphasis on each person's strengths and story.
She prefers a collaborative approach that helps people tell the story of their struggles in clearer ways. Sessions often include practical steps for coping, clearer communication strategies, and pacing that matches what the person can manage.
Background and approach
Kimberly uses everyday language so conversations stay focused and useful. Her background includes long experience with stress, self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and caregiving strains. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, bipolar challenges, and ADHD.
Kimberly pays attention to family of origin patterns, attachment issues, and life-stage concerns like aging and hospice-related stress. Narrative approaches play a role in her work by helping clients separate themselves from problems and rewrite difficult chapters. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral tools when those fit a client’s goals.
The mix is chosen to fit the person rather than follow a fixed formula. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular contact easier. People can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their calendar.

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Kimberly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. Narrative work encourages clients to tell the story of their life and notice which parts feel stuck, so they can imagine new directions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help people clarify values and develop committed steps toward them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She approaches treatment collaboratively. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist listens to goals and preferences, then suggests approaches and checks in to see what helps most as sessions progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused conversations during a busy week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and day-to-day life.
