About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Austin is an LPC - licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns and on issues related to LGBT identities, intimacy, and parenting.
She helps people talk through relationship knots and family conflict in straightforward terms. That can include questions about intimacy, commitment, or concerns that arise when partners follow non-traditional relationship models. She also offers support around parenting and blended family issues.
In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. Conversations tend to focus on current problems, patterns that keep repeating, and small changes that can reduce everyday friction. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to shape what they try next.
Her work is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means picking methods that match a person's goals, whether the focus is on communication, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or managing identity and sexual concerns. She describes options and helps people choose what seems most useful.
Dr. Austin accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The site uses a cancellable subscription for session payment that varies with location.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Dr. Austin works from evidence-based techniques that focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and improve communication. One common approach emphasizes skills for clearer communication and problem solving, which helps when daily routines, parenting roles, or blended household logistics cause friction. Another approach focuses on rebuilding trust and addressing hurt after betrayals or intimacy problems, using step-by-step strategies to repair interactions and set new boundaries.Choosing the right method is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and tailors the plan based on their goals, current difficulties, and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days. Video sessions let people use visual cues for communication work, while phone or shorter check-ins can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Talk with her after the matching questionnaire about which option will fit your schedule and needs.
