About Kim
Kim Linde is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in New York with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship problems, family conflict, grief, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and LGBT issues.
She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use between sessions. Kim combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotionally focused methods to address thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that contribute to distress. Sessions look at communication habits, attachment patterns, and ways to reduce intense emotional reactions.
Kim has particular experience supporting people through fertility challenges, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and postpartum depression. She also addresses separation, divorce, infidelity, and midlife transitions. Discussions often include problem-solving around parenting, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust after relationship ruptures.
Her style is direct and structured. Clients work on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing different interaction skills. She uses elements of DBT to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions interfere with daily life.
Many sessions include concrete skill practice and short homework tasks. Kim encourages tracking patterns and trying small changes to see what helps. To begin, she asks people to describe key concerns and what they hope to change in practical terms.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative actions; CBT is often practical and focused on day-to-day patterns like worry, avoidance, or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and reflecting what matters to the client so goals are clear and personally relevant. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasize. The decision about strategies is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
