Kimberly Lincoln, LMHC, LCMHC

Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and maintains licensure in both Florida and North Carolina as LMHC and LCMHC. Kimberly aims to help people who are coping with problems like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and addictions. Her approach centers on the individual client and their current needs. Sessions focus on practical steps to ease immediate stress, then return to longer-term goals. She draws on therapies that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and motivational interviewing. Kimberly has spent much of her career supporting children and youth involved in the child welfare system and working with families to stabilize crises. She has also worked extensively with women who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma, people in the LGBTQ community, couples, and men dealing with codependency and addictions. That background shapes how she balances safety, coping skills, and relationship repair in therapy. She uses evidence-informed tools when appropriate, such as trauma-focused CBT and motivational interviewing, while tailoring sessions to what a person needs that day. Expect clear, direct conversations about coping skills, communication, and steps to manage emotions. Seeking therapy is often a hard step, and Kimberly emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate process. She focuses on helping people feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy and assisting them in moving forward with practical plans and support.

How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and responding with empathy and respect. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client identify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress through techniques like mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with the client to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needs change. Sessions can move between immediate coping skills and longer-term work depending on what comes up in a given week.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow quicker check-ins when stress spikes, or avoid travel time for a regular session. Licensed professionals can also use structured worksheets and skill-building exercises during remote sessions to help people practice between meetings.
