About Kimberly
Kimberly Balkcom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Her work centers on setting clear, achievable goals together. She encourages self-reflection and helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. That can mean looking at how past experiences shape current behavior and finding concrete alternatives.
Kimberly uses several well-known approaches to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and reframe thoughts that feed stress and anger.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice reactions before they escalate. Motivational Interviewing supports someone who is unsure about change, and Narrative Therapy can help reframe how a person tells their own story. These tools are applied in simple, practical ways.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and homework that fits daily life. The focus is on building skills to manage strong emotions, improve communication, and regain a sense of control. Kimberly invites clients to set the pace and the goals for their work together.
How sessions work
How Kimberly uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the client. It helps people lead the conversation and decide what change looks like for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change reactive behavior, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to notice reactions sooner. Practicing these skills can reduce the escalation of anger and make it easier to choose a different response.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
