Kimberly Ennis , LCSW

Kimberly Ennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a veteran of the United States Army who practices in North Carolina. She brings 15 years of clinical experience across a range of settings and with people from diverse backgrounds. Kimberly earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, and she is licensed in the state as NC LCSW C006251. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker is a clinician with advanced social work training and a state license to provide psychotherapy and clinical interventions.

Kimberly works from a client-focused, strengths-based perspective and uses evidence-based methods to address a variety of concerns. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and dialectical behavior therapy, applied with attention to cultural and environmental factors that shape each person’s experience. She has particular expertise in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related difficulties, including PTSD, and she emphasizes a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and inclusive space where therapy is a collaborative process built on trust and vulnerability.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday coping challenges. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness - this approach can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and chronic stress. Given her interest in trauma, she may also draw on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate to address trauma-related memories and symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly collaborates with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor a treatment path that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or another convenient location. These options offer flexibility in session length and communication style, allowing therapists and clients to adapt the work to what is most helpful for progress.
