About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common problems that affect life at home, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Kim also supports people managing mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD-related struggles.
Her style is open and interactive. She uses practical, goal-oriented methods and talks through steps people can take between sessions. Sessions focus on building on strengths and finding small changes that ease daily pressure. Kim blends cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused tools and motivational techniques to help people move forward.
Kim trained at Barry University, where she earned a Master of Social Work in 2000, and has practiced since then in clinical settings. That background informs a steady, case-focused approach to problems like divorce, blended family issues, abandonment, and family-of-origin conflicts. She has worked with first responder concerns, immigration-related stress, infidelity, and isolation as well.
In sessions she draws on narrative methods to help people make sense of their stories and on mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity. Work often includes skill-building for communication, managing guilt and shame, and planning concrete steps for change. Her focus is on practical strategies adults can use at home and at work.
Kim offers help in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details through the online matching process.
How sessions work
How Kim Uses Structured Approaches Online
Kim often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep problems, mood swings, and daily habits that affect family life.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help reduce emotional reactivity and improve attention. Mindfulness work includes simple breathing and grounding practices that people can use when stress rises at home.
Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses to help clarify goals and build motivation for change. This method is useful when someone feels stuck about making a change in relationships, parenting routines, or career direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets adults use tools learned in session directly in their home routines without promising a specific format; check the booking details to see which session types are available.
