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

- 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

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
