I am a dedicated Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

with a wealth of experience providing direct therapeutic services to diverse populations.

With advanced degrees in Social Work and Child Development, I am skilled in

conducting complex bio-psychosocial and diagnostic assessments for children,

adolescents, and adults. I provide individualized, evidence-based treatment

for individuals, couples, and groups, addressing a broad range of behavioral health

challenges including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety,

adjustment disorder and grief. My clinical practice is grounded in a variety of proven

modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy

(CPT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a profound commitment to

patient care within demanding environments, including military and outpatient settings.

I have served as a primary therapist in the Army Embedded Behavioral Health clinics,

supported the Army Family Behavioral health Clinic, and provided on-call crisis support for

hospital emergency rooms. A core component of my work involves developing and

monitoring individualized treatment plans to ensure measurable progress and positive

outcomes for my clients. By providing specialized, person-centered counseling and

intervention, I empower my clients to achieve recovery and wellness.

Kimberly Davis

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Alabama, with over 20 years of experience working with individuals addressing mental and behavioral health issues. I have worked with diverse populations in various treatment settings to include: crisis stabilization, inpatient psychiatric and detox, residential, re-entry correctional facilities, out patient, and independent contract settings. I inherently believe that all human beings do the very best that they can, at any given time, with the knowledge skills and resources they have at that time. Life is full of changes and transitions, and many times the skills we used to cope during one phase, are not adequate for the next. I practice holistically, pulling from a vast array of theories and methodologies to help clients struggling with: self image/self esteem, stress management, relational discord, over thinking, life transitions, emotion regulation, mind body connection, role performance, assertiveness, boundaries, CNS dysregulation, and trauma.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eufaula, AL


When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have spent the past four years in private practice, building on more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health challenges. I understand that seeking therapy can be difficult or overwhelming, but taking the first step in finding the right therapist who is the right fit is empowering and a powerful investment in your well-being. I believe mental health matters, and everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. Investing in your emotional well-being is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself. I specialize in helping adults ages 18–60 navigate trauma, relationship challenges, depression, and substance use with compassion and evidence-based care.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Huntsville

Searching for therapists in Huntsville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare Huntsville therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or skills-based support.

Huntsville has therapy options across nearby areas like Downtown, Whitesburg, Madison, and surrounding communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. Virtual therapy can add more choice if office location, commute time, or appointment timing matters. As you narrow your search, review whether each therapist is accepting new clients, has availability that fits your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.

Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can compare therapist profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
