About Kimberly

Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who centers her work on the person in front of her. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. Kimberly aims for steady improvements people can feel in daily life instead of only talking about goals. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2010 and holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials in Florida and North Carolina. Over 11 years she has worked a great deal with children and youth involved in the child welfare system. That experience includes helping stabilize crises and supporting caregivers through stressful periods. Kimberly has also worked extensively with women who survived childhood sexual trauma and with people in the LGBTQ community. Her practice includes supporting individuals dealing with addictions, codependency, and relationship challenges. She focuses on what each person needs in the moment, whether that is long-term skill building or immediate problem solving. Her approach draws from several therapeutic methods so sessions can be tailored to the person’s goals. She pays attention to current life stressors that may derail progress and adjusts the plan as needed. The aim is to help people feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy. Kimberly describes seeking therapy as a brave step and presents herself as a collaborative guide through life’s challenges. She encourages people to take the next step toward healing when they are ready.

How Kimberly's approaches guide online therapy

Kimberly draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarity about goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress through skills like thought reframing and behavioral experiments. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Those choices can shift over time as different problems come up or priorities change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone use a session format that better matches their energy that day. Session format options are not listed here; confirm current session options before booking so you know what will be offered for scheduling and access. Kimberly uses her clinical approaches to tailor each remote session to what will help most in the moment, whether that means skill practice, crisis stabilization, or steady progress toward longer-term goals.
