About Kimberly

Kimberly Tomlinson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, and parenting challenges. Kimberly brings 20 years of experience to each session and offers Christian-based counseling when clients request it.

She uses clear, direct conversation to help people name what feels wrong and find practical steps forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and attention to how thoughts and feelings shape behavior.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape patterns, client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change thoughts and habits that cause distress. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when those fit the goals.

Kimberly’s practice addresses a wide range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including ADHD, codependency, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions. She supports people coping with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and career stress as well.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are welcomed. Please confirm current session options before booking.

How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape thoughts and reactions. Online sessions can explore these patterns and how they affect current relationships, helping people shift unhelpful interactions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. In remote sessions this means therapists reflect what matters most to the person and support their chosen goals in a conversational way.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that reinforce problems. Online CBT often combines talk with practical homework and skills that people can try between sessions to change habits and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with clients to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one way from the start.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people attend from different locations when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote work so progress continues between appointments.
