About Kimberly

Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and centers care on each person’s immediate needs and longer term goals. Kimberly holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and maintains licenses as an LMHC and LCMHC.

She has substantial experience working with children and youth involved in the child welfare system and with families navigating crises. That background includes helping stabilize family situations and working through adoption and foster care related concerns. Kimberly has also spent extensive time supporting women who survived childhood sexual trauma and people in the LGBTQ community.

Her approach adapts to what a client needs in the moment while keeping sight of broader goals. She uses practical skills drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical strategies to help manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing ideas guide conversations about readiness and next steps.

Sessions often include straightforward skills practice, direct problem solving, and focused conversation about relationship and parenting challenges. Kimberly emphasizes clear steps clients can try between meetings to test what helps in daily life. She aims for work that feels useful and doable.

People who come for help with grief, addictions, self-esteem, anger, or navigational issues like divorce and blended family dynamics will find a therapist who prioritizes real-world change. Kimberly encourages questions and a pace that fits each person as they move toward feeling better.

How core approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment, helping people feel heard and respected while they decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical tools to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for anger, self-harm risk, or emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kimberly collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in frequently and adjust the plan so the work stays relevant and doable for daily life.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when helpful, and allow skill practice between meetings in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum and help clients test new ways of coping while balancing family, work, and caregiving demands.
