Kimberly Lincoln , LMHC, LCMHC

Kimberly Lincoln holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University, earned in 2010, and is licensed to practice as a mental health counselor in both Florida and North Carolina. She uses the credentials LMHC and LCMHC, which indicate her standing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor qualified to provide clinical care in those states.

Over the course of her career she has worked extensively with children and youth involved in the child welfare system, partnering with families to stabilize crises and restore healthier family functioning. She has also supported women who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma, members of the LGBTQ community, couples, and men coping with codependency and addictions. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting and relationship challenges, grief, and issues related to self-esteem and intimacy.

Kimberly’s training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, MATCH for youth, Multi-Systemic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Her approach centers on the individual client - adapting to immediate stressors while also working toward longer-term goals. She aims to help clients feel better in the areas of life that brought them to therapy and to guide them through the steps of healing and change with practical, client-focused support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kimberly often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client's own experience and strengths and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another key approach she uses - it examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as new concerns or priorities emerge. The goal is to find strategies that feel useful and manageable for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access licensed professionals from more convenient locations.
