Life can feel heavy. Whether you're navigating anxiety that never seems to quiet down, processing a loss, working through trauma, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal. I'm Claire, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. I work with adults who are ready to do meaningful inner work — not because something is "wrong" with them, but because they deserve support, clarity, and a space that is entirely theirs. My work is rooted in compassion and curiosity. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I take the trust my clients place in me seriously. Together, we'll go at a pace that feels right for you — no rushing, no judgment, and no pressure to show up as anything other than yourself.

Kimberly DePue

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Welcome! I believe we as people, are doing the best we can, and sometimes our conscious or subconscious "plan" to take care of ourselves is just not working anymore. Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way....like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear.

I have extensive history of working with people looking to sustain recovery from addiction, family members impacted by addiction, military members, domestic violence and family abuse.

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 a Mental Health Therapist in Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
