    About Kimberly

    Kimberly Balkcom is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Florida and has 13 years of clinical experience. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and has spent more than a decade helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. She draws on several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single approach.

    Her work focuses on practical goal-setting and building skills for daily life. Sessions often include examining unhelpful thoughts, practicing mindful awareness, and identifying small steps toward change. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach for people who want help finding and strengthening their own reasons for change.

    Kimberly uses client-centered techniques to create a space for people to be heard and to shape therapy around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when the goal is to notice patterns, test beliefs, and try new behaviors. Narrative Therapy offers a way to look at personal stories and consider alternative meanings.

    She has experience responding to grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with life transitions. ADHD and addiction are also areas she has worked with across her practice.

    Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set realistic steps, reflect on progress, and adjust plans as needed. To begin, use the site Start Therapy button and follow the matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Kimberly blends Motivational Interviewing with client-centered work to help people find their own reasons for change and to shape therapy around what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone clarify their goals so they can decide the next steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s experience and building sessions around their priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it makes sense for the goals at hand. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete strategies to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, addiction-related goals, and coping with life changes. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about available session options when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your routine.
