About Kimberly
Kimberly Richards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 11 years of experience practicing in Michigan. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and difficulties related to attention and mood. Kimberly also lists family of origin issues among her focuses, and she includes adoption and foster care concerns in her work.
Her background centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods. Sessions are conversational and practical. She uses concrete strategies to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform her short-term planning and goal-setting.
Kimberly also addresses trauma-related concerns and grief. She approaches those topics with techniques aimed at stabilizing emotions and building coping skills. Work may include managing anger, addressing codependency, and improving communication in relationships.
She integrates personal faith into her practice when clients indicate that is important to them. That influence appears in how she frames values and meaning, not as a replacement for therapeutic methods. Kimberly emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions.
People who come to her often want clear steps and tools for change. She helps set small goals and tracks progress over time. To begin, she asks about current struggles, what’s been tried, and what a realistic next step looks like.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on current problems like anxiety, low mood, or difficulties with attention. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her approach and emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to clarify goals and values. Motivational Interviewing is used to support readiness for change, especially when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making a change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work she does with each person. She collaborates with clients to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaboration shapes what is tried first and how progress is measured.
