Kimberly "Kim" Davis, LCSW

Kimberly "Kim" Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long path in behavioral health. She holds a master’s and bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Campbellsville University and has 16 years of experience. Kim has worked in hospitals, substance abuse programs, crisis units, and a local homeless shelter, and she is currently a predoctoral psychology student at Keiser University. Her background includes extended work at Ft. Knox focused on patterns of human behavior and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. That experience informs how she talks about trauma and substance use in sessions. She helps people name what’s happening, set small goals, and try new coping steps between visits. Kim relies on straightforward approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-Focused ideas help keep sessions goal-oriented and practical. People come to her for relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, attachment questions, and issues linked to caregiving or chronic illness. Kim mentions a focus on trauma and substance abuse but works broadly across related concerns. Her style is practical and empathetic. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps, skill practice, and real-world problem solving. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking so they know how to connect with her.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or change patterns that cause stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are concrete and can be practiced in daily life, which many people find useful when managing strong emotions or relationship strain. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting plans as therapy proceeds. Confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer sessions that rely less on video and more on conversation, while others like screen-based work that supports skill demonstrations and shared worksheets. Discussing practical details ahead of time helps shape sessions that fit everyday life.
