About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Ivester is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 24 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and many life changes. Sessions are spoken in English and geared toward practical steps a person can use between meetings.
Kim draws on several well-known approaches to guide the work. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm awareness in stressful moments.
Her background includes long experience in community and school settings, where she supported people with parenting questions, career and college decisions, and those coping after physical or emotional abuse. That practical work shaped an emphasis on straightforward strategies that people can apply right away.
In sessions, conversations will focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. The therapist and client decide on clear goals together and check progress along the way. Kim also brings psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when it helps to understand patterns from the past or to identify concrete next steps.
People who prefer plain language and structured tools often find this approach helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs, with attention to real-life demands like parenting, work, and caregiving.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Kim often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own priorities, listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through relationship concerns, parenting stress, or emotional aftermath from trauma.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT gives clear exercises and steps to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and preferences together and choose which methods to use. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. A mix of conversation, skill practice, and brief between-session exercises translates well to remote work and can be adapted to how a person prefers to meet.
