About Kimberly
Kimberly Tomlinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, codependency, and related concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and communication.
Her approach blends practical talk with focused strategies. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot uneasy thinking and try different behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship emotions feel stuck.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kimberly listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or losing sense of self in relationships. She helps clients notice those patterns, name what matters, and try small experiments to practice new boundaries and choices.
She can offer Christian-based counseling when a client requests that perspective. Kimberly’s style includes skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Over time she and a client shape a plan that fits the client’s priorities.
Kimberly has worked in a variety of clinical settings over two decades. That background informs her practical focus and the range of issues she addresses, from chronic illness and caregiver stress to adoption and attachment concerns. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they might cling, withdraw, or repeat unhelpful behaviors in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to test worries and try different behaviors when anxiety or low mood get in the way.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each client to choose which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. She may combine attachment ideas with CBT or bring in DBT skills if emotional regulation is a priority. The plan evolves as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Some formats let clients join without video when that helps, while others support longer therapeutic conversations. Talk with the therapist during matching to pick the session style that fits daily life and treatment goals.
