About Kimberly

Kimberly Winkel is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She combines a compassionate, client-centered outlook with practical strategies to address issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and career or parenting concerns. Her practice emphasizes cultural humility and responsiveness to multicultural concerns, immigration issues, prejudice and discrimination, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Using a mix of solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed methods, Kimberly helps clients identify priorities and develop step-by-step plans for change. She works collaboratively to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and circumstances, addressing related areas like body image, guilt and shame, abandonment, midlife transitions, and mood disorders.

Based in Florida and licensed as an LCSW, she accepts clients from other locations and offers flexible online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Kimberly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based methods to help clients examine thoughts and behaviors and build practical coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption, while mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that support emotional regulation.

She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused principles to keep work collaborative and goal-directed, helping clients clarify priorities and co-create plans that fit their lives. The therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method from the outset.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session rhythms, and access licensed professionals from varied locations while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
