About Kimbalie
Her style is open, interactive, and non-judgmental. She looks for individual strengths to build on and prefers practical steps clients can use between sessions. Kim describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals and next steps are set together.
Kim draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify values and support commitment, and Narrative and Mindfulness approaches to reframe stories and reduce stress.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami, earned in 2000, and long experience providing counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment after loss, divorce, or disability. That experience informs a practical approach to coping with life changes.
Kim aims to tailor communications and treatment plans to each person’s goals. She emphasizes concrete tools, compassionate listening, and steps people can take right away to feel steadier and more in control.
How Kim Uses Practical Approaches Online
Kim often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and responding differently in stressful moments. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity; it can help with stress, anger, and sleep by teaching attention and grounding skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust plans as progress is made.
