Kimberly Winkel, LCSW

Kimberly Winkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Indiana with 37 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, anger, career strain, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Sessions are in English and she accepts international clients.

Kimberly takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She listens to what matters most and then works with each person to set practical goals. She leans on client-centered work and solution-focused strategies to identify small, doable steps that change daily patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are used when they fit the problem at hand.

In practice she often focuses on problems that build up over time - family of origin issues, abandonment, shame and guilt, body image, and multicultural concerns. She also supports people facing post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related concerns. Her background includes long experience helping people manage sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring mood or attention difficulties.

Sessions move at a steady pace with a focus on skills you can try between meetings. Typical work includes spotting unhelpful thoughts, learning brief grounding or mindfulness methods, and setting small behavioral experiments to test new ways of reacting. Progress is measured in practical changes you notice day to day.

Kimberly explains options clearly and invites questions about next steps. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and priorities.
