About Kimberly

Kimberly Tomlinson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, mood disorders such as bipolar, addictions, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a compassionate, client-focused presence to work alongside individuals navigating intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and complex co-occurring issues. Kimberly can also integrate Christian-based counseling when that preference is expressed.

Her style blends evidence-informed methods with attention to emotions and attachment patterns, aiming to empower clients to build healthier coping skills and stronger relationships. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, emotionally-focused and attachment-based work to explore relational patterns, and dialectical strategies to increase emotional regulation.

Over two decades she has supported people through chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, body image and eating concerns, and a wide range of life adjustments. Kimberly practices in Florida and offers services in English.

She accepts international clients and provides multiple session formats to suit different needs. Prospective clients who are ready can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options



Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and some aspects of ADHD. She also incorporates attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and interactions, supporting work on intimacy, relationship repair, and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques over time to better match what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow scheduling around work, caregiving, and other commitments, and enable ongoing therapeutic work from locations that suit the client while still receiving support from a licensed professional.
