About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. She holds an LMHC in Florida and an LCMHC in North Carolina and works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and substance concerns.
She has a long history of working with people connected to the child welfare system and with women who survived childhood sexual trauma. Her background includes work with people in the LGBTQ community and with men managing codependency and addictions. She also has experience helping individuals and caregivers through grief, caregiving stress, and major life changes.
Kimberly uses several evidence-based approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. She applies Client-Centered techniques to follow each person’s pace. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills when emotion regulation is a priority.
In sessions she balances short-term problem solving with longer-term goals. If a pressing stressor arises, she will address it so clients can get back to broader work. She aims for clear, practical steps you can try between meetings.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about relationships, boundaries, parenting strain, attachment questions, and issues tied to abandonment or blended families. Kimberly also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and coping strategies for bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood issues.
Her practice is focused on helping people stabilize when life feels overwhelming and on building skills to manage recurring patterns such as people-pleasing and difficulty saying no.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s pace and priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and adjusts each meeting to what feels most important that day, whether that is immediate stress or deeper relationship work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behavior links and teaches practical exercises. Online CBT sessions often involve setting homework, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing what worked or didn’t in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered remotely, DBT can teach breathing, distress tolerance, and communication tools that people can try and report back on in the next session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as the client makes progress or faces new stressors.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting counseling into everyday life more easily. Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it simpler to use shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and continue skill practice without extra travel.
