Kimberly Corts, LCSW

Kimberly Corts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of practice. She focuses on caregiver stress, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and aging and geriatric issues. Her approach blends professional skills with each person's values and priorities.

Kim uses short-term work focused on skill-building and problem solving, generally over a three to six month span. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Sessions can include coaching-style guidance and exercises to practice between meetings.

Kim is comfortable including a Christian perspective when a client requests it, though she does not use that as her standard method. She aims to be calm, approachable, and down-to-earth during sessions. Humor and straightforward feedback are used when they fit the situation.

Respect is central to her practice. Kim describes a strict no-judging stance and says clients will be supported, encouraged, and sometimes challenged. That includes attention to the stresses of caregiving and the particular concerns that come with aging.

Her work often helps people facing changes in roles, chronic health challenges, or grief after loss. She helps clients learn specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address practical problems that get in the way of daily life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values; it can help with anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation, often paired with other techniques for practical goal work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to involve coaching-style homework and to practice skills between meetings, helping therapy connect with everyday life.
