Kim Rippy, MA, LPC

About Kim: (she/her/hers)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Supervisor in Virginia. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University, and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Christopher Newport University.

I am a dedicated therapist specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). With a compassionate and collaborative approach, I work to empower my clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, while fostering emotional resilience and deeper connections. By integrating ACT's mindfulness and values-driven techniques with EFIT's focus on emotional bonding and attachment, I help my clients navigate personal challenges, enhance their emotional well-being, and build meaningful, fulfilling relationships.

I create a welcoming, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Specializing in anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and gender/sexuality issues, I provide guidance and support for major life transitions, daily stress, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about helping individuals manage high levels of stress and anxiety, and I take great interest in supporting those navigating significant life changes, such as starting a new career, coping with a breakup, or adjusting to parenthood.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time outside with my husband, our two sons, and our two rescue dogs, as well as my favorite introvert hobbies of reading, crocheting and doing nail art!
