About Kimberly

Kimberly Lisle is a Florida LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, codependency, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, and trauma. She also helps people coping with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and major life changes.

Her style is direct and goal oriented. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps. She uses clear talk and concrete strategies rather than vague explanations. Expect to set specific goals and track progress over time.

Kimberly blends approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns and strengthen relationships. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift thinking that feeds anxiety or low self esteem. Attachment-based thinking informs how she addresses family and parenting struggles, including adoption and foster care questions.

She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and making behavior changes. Those methods offer tools for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and building motivation to stick with new habits.

In sessions she talks through concrete skills for setting boundaries, responding to others without losing yourself, and handling crises without defaulting to people-pleasing. People who feel entangled in someone else's moods or drinking can work on clearer limits and steadier reactions. Her work is practical and focused on what helps day to day.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based approaches focus on understanding patterns in relationships and early bonds. In short online sessions this looks like talking through how past relationships shape current reactions and then practicing different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful people-pleasing habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That choice can shift as issues change, and sessions are used to check what is working and what needs adjusting.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or select sessions that do not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist during the intake to decide how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life and address the practical problems you want to change.
