My therapist mrs Ennis is very knowledgeable respectful and attentive. She also is patient and asks good thought provoking questions. I found out that I had other things to work on that I didn't even realize was affecting me. This experience has helped me sleep better and improve my behavior in a positive way.

More about Kimberly

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My name is Kimberly Ennis and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 13 years. As a Social Worker and Veteran of the United States Army, I bring a range of experiences working in a variety of settings, with people of all different backgrounds. As a result, I believe that addressing culture and environment is essential to the therapeutic process. I am committed to proving a compassionate, culturally sensitive and inclusive space for my clients.

I am licensed in the State of North Carolina. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. I work from a client-focused and strengths-based approach, utilizing a range of evidenced-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic and dialectical behavioral therapy.

My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression and grief, however I have a special interest in working with individuals who struggle with PTSD. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, built on trust and vulnerability

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kimberly is understanding. She gives me space to feel uncomfortable in the silence which I struggle with a lot. She offers great resources and views never considered before that I need to work on during my mental health journey.
