About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 11 years of experience. She is based in North Carolina and works with concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and issues common in young adults such as career stress and coping with life changes.
She has worked a long time with people affected by the child welfare system and with caregivers and parents. Her background includes helping women who survived childhood sexual trauma and supporting people in the LGBTQ community. She has also worked with individuals facing codependency and addiction issues.
Her approach centers on the individual client and what that person needs in the moment. Kimberly uses practical strategies from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. She balances longer-term goals with quick check-ins for immediate stressors so progress can continue.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and conversations. That can mean building communication skills, managing anger, developing coping steps for anxiety and depression, or addressing attachment and adoption-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and the effects of domestic violence or divorce.
Kimberly aims to help people feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy. Her work often includes discussing past trauma, improving self-esteem, and planning next steps for career or relationship decisions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what is said, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and decisions about career or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative work may mix techniques from CBT, DBT, EFT, and motivational interviewing to fit what is most useful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes such as moving for school or work.
