    About Kimberly

    Kimberly Lisle is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and trauma. Parents often seek her out for help with attachment issues, behavior challenges, and the complex needs that come after foster care or adoption.

    Her style is direct and goal oriented. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps families and individuals can use between meetings. She respects each person and crafts plans that match real life demands.

    Kimberly draws on several approaches to shape treatment. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Client-Centered methods to keep discussions grounded in the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be included to manage intense emotions.

    She has long experience working with children and adolescents who have experienced removal, foster care, or adoption, and with caregivers who need parenting strategies for challenging behavior. Kimberly also works with people facing OCD, panic, phobias, ADHD-related struggles, and issues like codependency or hoarding.

    Sessions are planned to match each person’s goals and circumstances. She collaborates with clients to set clear, achievable objectives and adjusts the path as progress is made.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on the client's own reasons for change and uses questions and reflection to build motivation; it can help when someone feels stuck about taking the next step. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how they affect current reactions and parenting; it can be useful for adoption, foster care, and family repair. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's goals and perspective at the center, creating space to talk through what matters and decide next steps.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

    The original biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coaching to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them in everyday life.
