About Kimberly

Kimberly Lincoln brings a practical, skills-focused approach to therapy rooted in cognitive behavioral principles and client-centered care.

Background and approach

As an LMHC and LCMHC practicing for 11 years, she draws on structured methods to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also attending to each person's unique experience and goals.

Her background includes extensive work with children and families involved in the child welfare system as well as individuals and couples coping with trauma, relationship problems, addiction, and identity-related concerns. She has particular experience supporting survivors of childhood sexual trauma, members of the LGBTQ community, and people facing codependency and substance-related issues.

Kimberly integrates evidence-informed techniques such as CBT, DBT skills, trauma-focused interventions, and motivational interviewing to stabilize crises, strengthen coping, and build lasting change. Her practice balances attention to long-term objectives with flexibility to address pressing stressors that arise in day-to-day life.

Kimberly aims to help clients feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy and to guide them toward clearer, more manageable steps forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and support that helps people explore their values and goals in a collaborative, nonjudgmental way. When emotional regulation and interpersonal patterns are central concerns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build distress tolerance, emotion management, and more effective communication.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly treats direction as a collaborative decision. She partners with each person to clarify needs and priorities, then tailors interventions so techniques match the client's goals and readiness for change.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to attend sessions from home, follow up between appointments with messaging, or choose the format that best supports progress toward therapeutic goals.
