About Kimberly
Kimberly Tomlinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship struggles, and addiction concerns. She also supports those facing grief, career shifts, caregiving strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and useful to the client. She uses listening, reflective feedback, and goal-focused tools to help people make small, steady changes in daily life.
Background and approach
Kimberly draws from several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs. She blends attachment-based ideas about relationships, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas shape work on closeness and connection.
She offers options for Christian based counseling when that is requested. Her background includes many years helping adults with complex, overlapping concerns such as trauma, ADHD, chronic health issues, and caregiver stress. The tone in sessions tends to be calm, practical, and respectful.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. Kimberly encourages collaboration on what will feel manageable between sessions. Her style aims to leave people with clearer coping strategies and a plan for moving forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how people relate to others and to themselves, helping identify patterns that get in the way of close connections and teaching ways to rebuild trust and responsiveness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises and homework that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience in relationships and can help people improve intimacy and communication by naming feelings and responding differently to one another.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful when visual cues matter and for fuller conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in, a way to work through specific skills, or a flexible option for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent work and to practice strategies in real life between appointments.
