About Kimberly

Kimberly Tomlinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and bipolar mood concerns. Her profile notes work with a wide range of problems including addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

Kimberly takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships and connection are a central concern.

Her background includes long-term practice addressing both mood disorders and relationship dynamics. Over two decades she has supported people facing complex or overlapping concerns, such as co-morbidity, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. The biography also notes experience with adoption and foster care topics, abandonment, and blended family dynamics.

The profile indicates she can offer Christian-based counseling when that is desired. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, users are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their needs.

Approaches used online and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. It can help when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship problems are the main issue. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify priorities and feel heard; it is useful for exploring life decisions and coping with stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and offers practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice and worksheets that translate well to remote sessions, while other times the focus will simply be on talking through relationship or mood concerns and planning practical next steps.
