Kimberli "Kim" Cumming , LCSW, CSW, LMSW

Kimberli “Kim” Cumming helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She supports those facing life changes and offers coaching for clearer goals. Kim centers her work on women’s issues among other concerns listed, and she writes plain, practical guidance rather than technical jargon.

Kim has 25 years of clinical experience as a licensed social worker. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LMSW credentials and practices from Michigan. Sessions focus on straightforward problem-solving, better communication, and strengthening coping skills for everyday life.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people identify strengths and small steps they can use right away. That might mean practicing how to set boundaries, managing overwhelm, or clarifying life purpose.

Kim also works with concerns tied to aging, caregiver stress, attachment and family of origin patterns. She supports people through divorce or separation, commitment worries, infidelity, and the loneliness that can come with major life shifts.

In sessions she uses questions and reflections to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. The focus is on usable tools and clearer thinking rather than long theory talks. Her aim is to help clients build confidence, reduce shame and guilt, and find more balance in daily life.

Client-centered care delivered online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps clarify goals, and supports people as they decide what changes to try. This approach works well for anxiety, low self-worth, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.

Kim emphasizes practical steps and collaboration when working remotely. She will help clients choose which method fits their needs and goals, and adjust the approach as sessions progress. Figuring out the right way to work together is part of the therapy process, and she involves clients in that decision.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give more options for when and how to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler choice that uses less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching moments, or times when typing suits a person better. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and busy days while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
