Kimberly Averett, LCSW

Kimberly Averett is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate hard life moments. She practices in Mississippi and draws on 23 years of work supporting people facing grief, addiction, relationship strain, and mood concerns like depression. She builds sessions around an open, nonjudgmental space. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent and practical steps to try next. Kimberly emphasizes listening first and then shaping goals together. Her approach mixes client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative work. That means she pays attention to how people tell their stories and helps them test new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce stress and improve mood. Kimberly also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when they suit a person’s needs. Those approaches help people identify small, doable changes and work through painful experiences at a manageable pace. Many people bring concerns about parenting, family conflict, identity, or chronic stress. Kimberly helps people sort priorities, practice new skills, and make plans that fit daily life. She supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, eating issues, and caregiver strain. To begin, a simple match process is used to connect to a therapist and schedule sessions. The emphasis in her practice is practical steps, steady support, and conversations that help restore hope and functioning.
