About Kimberly
Kimberly Tomlinson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and addiction. She brings 20 years of clinical experience and a calm, practical approach to sessions. Clients often come for help with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, and the strain that comes with caregiving and chronic illness.
Kimberly uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. She listens first, then suggests steps you can try between sessions. Her style blends evidence-based tools with attention to emotional connection and personal meaning. She can also include faith-based perspectives when that is a good fit for the person.
Her training and practice include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches help with coping skills, emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and changing unhelpful thinking. She draws from these methods depending on each person's needs.
Adoption and foster care is listed among Kimberly's focus areas for clients dealing with related challenges. She is based in Florida and has worked with a broad range of concerns across adult life stages. Her background emphasizes long-term support and practical strategies to improve daily functioning.
Her practice centers on building steady progress over time. Sessions are aimed at clear goals, with tools to use between meetings and a respectful, person-centered tone in the room.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and trust. In practice this means talking about how you relate to others, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of connecting to reduce anxiety or conflict.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions use simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that improve mood and functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will explore your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. You and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize emotion-focused work, skill-building, or a mix of methods.
