About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 11 years of experience. She is licensed in Florida and North Carolina and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues.
She has extensive experience supporting people connected to the child welfare system and those involved in adoption and foster care. She has spent a good portion of her career helping families stabilize during crises and addressing attachment and blended family challenges. Her background also includes work with survivors of childhood sexual trauma and people in the LGBTQ community.
Kimberly uses a mix of practical methods to match the situation. She draws on client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior strategies. She also uses emotionally focused ideas and motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and shift patterns that cause distress.
Sessions focus on what matters right now and on longer term goals. If an urgent stressor appears, she will address that first so other work can continue. Common topics include grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, codependency, addictions, and coping with life changes.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people talk through communication problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and the challenges that come with caregiving. Kimberly aims to help people feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kimberly uses client-centered work that focuses on each person's priorities and what they need in the moment. This approach helps bring attention to practical concerns and supports clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work collaboratively to identify which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She can combine techniques and adjust the focus as concerns shift over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that online sessions fit more easily into daily life because they reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. The therapist will discuss what formats are available and help tailor session planning to the client's routine and goals.
