About

Kimberly DePue, LCSW, is a warm, grounded, and non-judgmental therapist who believes people are doing the best they can with the tools they have. When long-standing coping strategies - whether conscious or subconscious - stop working, it can feel confusing, painful, or exhausting to try something new alone. She offers steady support for those who want to understand what is getting in the way of wellbeing and begin building healthier, more effective ways of caring for themselves.

Kimberly emphasizes the importance of relationships as a cornerstone of overall wellbeing, including the relationship with oneself, with family and friends, and with the broader community. She understands that challenges such as trauma, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, and fear can disrupt these connections and make daily life feel heavier. Her work centers on helping clients feel supported as they navigate difficult emotional experiences and strengthen self-awareness, so they can develop insight, learn new skills, and repair their relationship with themselves - and, if desired, with others.

Trauma and relational ruptures can shape how a person views themselves and the world, influencing self-esteem, coping, and connection. Kimberly recognizes that many people manage the impact of trauma through unhealthy or addictive patterns, and she brings a compassionate, structured framework to this work. She is a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist and a Certified Clinical Supervisor. After earning her LCSW and LCAS, she pursued additional training that includes over 50 hours studying the American Society of Addiction Medicine Manual, over 200 hours in Gestalt Therapy, and 50 hours of EMDR training through EMDRHAP.

Evidence-Based Care That Meets You Online

Kimberly DePue uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients better understand what is driving stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Gestalt Therapy is one approach she is trained in, and it focuses on increasing self-awareness in the present moment. It can help people notice patterns in emotions, thoughts, and relationships, and practice new ways of responding instead of relying on old coping strategies that no longer work.

Kimberly also has training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) through EMDRHAP. EMDR is often used to help clients process the lingering impact of distressing experiences, supporting a shift in how those memories are held and how they affect daily life and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the person, the pace they want, and the challenges they are facing.

Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support in a format that fits real life. Sessions may take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and keep momentum going.
