About Kimberly

Kimberly Qualls is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused, aiming to build on strengths and practical skills.

She brings nine years of experience to her work and emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth style. Kimberly uses client-centered methods to create a calm space for people to talk and think through problems.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when relationships and emotional patterns are central to the concern. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, addictions, grief, anger, and a range of personality and relational issues such as codependency, narcissism concerns, infidelity, and domestic violence effects.

She also addresses multicultural concerns and money or career stress. Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer daily functioning. Her background includes work running day treatment and therapeutic activities for youth, where she taught functional living skills and addressed behavioral challenges.

That work involved close communication with parents and community partners. Kimberly combines that hands-on experience with an interest in resilience and risk factors across settings. People who choose Kimberly can expect collaborative planning, attention to strengths, and step-by-step strategies.

She encourages small, measurable goals and ongoing feedback so therapy stays relevant to each person's life and needs.

Online support

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Kimberly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns that shape relationships and how people respond to stress. This approach helps when strong emotions or patterns of interaction are causing pain or disconnection. Client-Centered Therapy is a core part of her work and means sessions focus on the person's experience, goals, and pacing rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds practical tools for spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That may mean mixing elements from different approaches and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face contact for emotional work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection, quick check-ins, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to choose the format that matches a person's energy and routine.
