About Kimberly
Kimberly Winkel is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She draws on decades of practice to offer straightforward support for self-esteem, parenting strains, career concerns, and mood challenges. Her approach centers on listening and responding to each person’s priorities.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Kimberly uses tools that people can try between meetings, and she adjusts those tools to fit real life. Kimberly’s work combines client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when they fit the situation. This mix helps with symptoms like sleep problems, overwhelm, and recurring negative thoughts. Clients often come for help with compassion fatigue, relationship and family problems, or the fallout from past abuse or trauma.
She also addresses issues such as body image, guilt or shame, immigration stress, and multicultural concerns. The emphasis is on practical steps that reduce distress and increase coping skills. With 37 years of experience and licensing in Florida and Indiana as a licensed clinical social worker, Kimberly blends clinical knowledge with a down-to-earth style.
She invites people to set clear goals and track small improvements over time. People who prefer remote options can work by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients who speak English may also participate.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set goals and decide what to try. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and practical direction rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and low mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Practices are short and can be done between sessions to help with stress, irritability, and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust techniques as progress is made so the plan fits the client’s life and needs.
Online treatment is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face connection, phone can require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style work. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use skills in daily life.
