    About Kim

    Kim Lawrence is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, self-esteem, and major life changes. She focuses on practical goals and steady progress so people can feel more able to cope day to day.

    Her style centers on building on each person's strengths. Sessions are client-centered and collaborative. She uses clear, step-by-step strategies and conversational problem solving rather than lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.

    Kim blends several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel uncertain or stuck.

    Her work emphasizes small, sustainable shifts. That can look like setting short goals, practicing new coping skills between sessions, and checking what works. She also brings mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and reducing reactivity.

    Kim earned a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Health with a focus on holistic health. She has six years of clinical experience and continues to expand her skills through ongoing learning and trainings.

  2. Therapeutic approaches you can try online

    Kim commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make changes and feel better. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps clarify personal reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and letting the person lead the pace and topics of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to adjust patterns that cause distress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what the person finds helpful. This collaborative process helps match tools to needs rather than imposing a single method.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. It can also make it simpler to use skill practice between meetings and to continue care during life changes, while the therapist and client decide together what works best.
