About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and related issues people bring to therapy.
She has a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Much of her work has involved children and youth in the child welfare system and efforts to stabilize family situations during crisis. She has also worked with women who survived childhood sexual trauma, people in the LGBTQ community, couples, and men dealing with codependency and addictions.
Her approach centers on the needs of the individual in the room. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior techniques when helpful. She also incorporates client-centered principles, emotionally focused work, and motivational interviewing to address goals and immediate stressors.
Sessions often balance longer-term goals with short-term problem solving. If day-to-day stresses or sudden issues arise, she will address those so clients can return focus to broader objectives. She aims to help people feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy.
Kimberly lists family-of-origin and attachment-related concerns among her focuses, including adoption and foster care and blended family issues. Her background includes work with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral strategies and other modular and systemic approaches used with youth and families.
People contacting her should expect practical conversation, skills-based options, and help sorting what matters most now versus later in treatment.
Approaches used in online sessions
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or mood problems and teaching practical skills to change them. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which center the conversation on what the client says matters and adjust support to the client's needs. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work; she will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a more client-focused style suits current goals and challenges.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats were not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to work well in virtual meetings while focusing on the concerns that brought someone to therapy.
