About Kimberly

Kimberly Laun is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers practical, steady support for those who want clearer direction and workable steps toward feeling better. With 20 years of practice, Kimberly brings a calm, solution-focused style to conversations about daily struggles.

Kimberly trained at the University of Tennessee and has worked in a range of mental health settings since 2003. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thinking, try different coping strategies, and set realistic goals. Many clients seek her out for help with social anxiety, isolation, and persistent worry.

Sessions begin with a conversation about what brought the person to therapy and what they hope to change. Kimberly listens for immediate concerns and practical barriers, and then co-creates a plan with clear steps. She favors approaches that lead to small, achievable changes and measurable progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are often part of her work, along with mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm and increase focus. The goal is to build tools that fit daily life and can be used outside of sessions.

People who choose Kimberly can expect straightforward guidance, steady pacing, and encouragement to try concrete strategies between visits. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at improving well-being one step at a time.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety and stress, then try new ways of thinking and behaving to see what changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus in everyday moments. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical goals and small steps that produce visible improvement over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. The process is collaborative and open to adjustment as progress is tracked.
