About Kimbalie
Kim has two decades of experience in counseling, including work with trauma, depression, and adjustment after loss or major life changes. She earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami in 2000 and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Over the years she has supported people facing family conflict, divorce and separation, immigration stress, and first responder challenges.
Her style is open, non-judgmental, and interactive. Sessions often combine solution-focused conversations with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational techniques. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build on strengths.
Mindfulness practices and narrative approaches are also part of her toolbox. These methods can help with managing strong emotions, improving self-esteem, and making sense of difficult experiences. Kim tailors communication and the plan to each person's goals.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that asks for insight and courage. If someone is ready to take a step toward change, Kim offers steady support and practical strategies to move forward.
How selected approaches are used in online therapy
Kim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, sleep problems, and managing daily stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can ease anger, stress, and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Progress is reviewed and the plan can change as goals evolve, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
