About Kimberly
Kimberly Balkcom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and loss. She also helps with relationship and parenting concerns and supports people exploring intimacy, self esteem, career decisions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Kimberly uses straightforward, goal-focused work in sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. That often means setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking what is and isn’t working.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. In practice this looks like identifying thought patterns, using present-focused awareness to reduce reactivity, and examining the stories people tell about themselves.
Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than long lectures. Kimberly and the person she sees set measurable targets and review progress regularly. She encourages self-reflection and skill practice so clients can test new behaviors in daily life.
People who prefer clear steps and concrete tools usually find this style helpful. Kimberly accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, users choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT focuses on concrete steps such as identifying unhelpful thoughts, planning small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed after trying new actions.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s own goals and motivations, along with mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity. These approaches suit concerns like anxiety, low mood, trauma symptoms, and stress related to work or parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT homework with brief motivational interviewing to support behavior change, or adding narrative work to reframe difficult experiences.
