About Kimberly

Kimberly Lisle is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and a wide range of related problems including trauma, addictions, and mood issues.

She has long experience working with children affected by attachment difficulties and with families navigating foster care and adoption. That history shapes how she talks with parents and adults about difficult behaviors, attachment questions, and the strain of parenting under pressure.

Her style is direct and goal oriented. Sessions are interactive and practical. She uses clear steps and tools so people can try new approaches between visits.

Kimberly draws on attachment-based methods, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing. In practice this means looking at relationship patterns, identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and strengthening communication at home.

She commonly helps adults manage anxiety, depression, anger, and the impact of past abuse. She also supports people dealing with obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, and difficulties tied to adoption or foster care histories.

For parents and caregivers, she focuses on concrete parenting techniques, clearer boundaries, and problem-solving around challenging behaviors. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds. It focuses on how those patterns affect current family relationships and parenting responses, and can help when attachment concerns or adoption histories are part of the picture. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns and gives concrete exercises to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She discusses what to try first and adjusts the plan as progress or new issues emerge.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and the concerns at hand.
