About Kimberly

Kimberly Tomlinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters. Kimberly practices in Florida and accepts international clients in English.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and to build steps that fit each person’s life. She uses a mix of methods to address symptoms and relationship patterns rather than one single technique.

Kimberly blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening to strengthen bonds and emotional safety. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions when needed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on closeness and communication.

She can offer Christian-based counseling when requested and integrates faith as part of care when that matches a person’s values. Her style tends toward direct, supportive guidance with room for practical skill-building and deeper emotional work.

To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. Kimberly aims to help people move toward healthier routines, clearer communication, and less distress.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in how they connect and practice different ways of asking for support and closeness.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and respected. In an online conversation this looks like calm, reflective listening that helps a person name what matters and make choices that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors between meetings, which translates well to remote homework and brief check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a plan. That plan can shift as you try things and see what fits best.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists assign short, practical exercises to use between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
