Meet Kimberly Duff: A Story of Resilience, Faith, and Professional Success
Kimberly Duff is the owner of Overcomers Counseling, LLC, offering virtual counseling services throughout Georgia. As a wife, mother, brain cancer survivor, and person who is blind, Kimberly’s personal journey has shaped her mission: to help others overcome life’s toughest challenges through compassionate counseling.
The Power of a Positive Mindset
At 12 years old, Kimberly was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, with doctors predicting only six months to live. Her parents made two pivotal decisions: they sought the best medical care and chose never to tell her how serious her condition was.
“I believed every treatment was just a temporary obstacle on the path to recovery,” Kimberly recalls. “Looking back, I see how crucial a positive attitude is when facing hardships.” This experience built the foundation for her life’s work: empowering others through challenges with strength and optimism.
A Lifelong Commitment to Helping Others
Kimberly’s professional journey reflects her resilience. After becoming blind following surgery, she wondered how she could achieve her dreams. Her mother’s encouraging words, “You can still do everything you wanted—you’ll just have to learn new ways to do it”, reshaped her perspective.
Determined, Kimberly pursued her education using adaptive technology. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Kennesaw State University with a degree in psychology, earned a master’s in rehabilitation counseling, and became a licensed counselor in 2016. She then launched Overcomers Counseling, LLC, specializing in disability and chronic illness, military family counseling, and Christian coaching.
Adapting and Thriving in Business
In 2019, Kimberly shifted her entire practice online despite industry skepticism. Her resilience paid off when COVID-19 accelerated the demand for teletherapy. Today, she offers fully virtual services across Georgia, helping clients navigate life’s challenges through her unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience.
