About Kimberly

Kimberly Lincoln is a licensed mental health counselor who blends person-centered care with evidence-based techniques to support clients through stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience and licensure in North Carolina (NC LCMHC 16638) and Florida (FL LMHC MH11737), she draws on interventions such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused methods to tailor work to each person's immediate needs and larger goals.

Her background includes substantial work with children and youth involved in the child welfare system and with family units facing crisis, as well as with survivors of childhood sexual trauma, people in the LGBT community, couples, and individuals addressing codependency and addictions.

She emphasizes practical problem solving along with emotional healing, helping clients stabilize pressing concerns so they can continue toward longer-term change. Kimberly aims to create a collaborative process that helps people regain balance and move forward from the specific issues that brought them to therapy, including attention-related struggles such as ADHD among other focus areas.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stressors. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes collaborative skill-building that translates well to remote sessions.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced and refined between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and Kimberly treats that as a collaborative process. Through discussion about symptoms, goals, and preferences she will help determine whether CBT, DBT, client-centered techniques, or a blended plan best fits the client's needs and adjust that plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing schedules. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer therapy that adapts to each person's routines while focusing on practical tools and emotional healing.
