Kimberly Lincoln , LMHC, LCMHC

She earned a Master of Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2010 and holds licensure as a mental health counselor in both Florida and North Carolina. Her credentials include LMHC and LCMHC, professional designations that indicate licensure to provide mental health counseling. Over more than a decade of practice, she has devoted significant time to working with children and youth involved in the child welfare system and with families needing crisis stabilization and support to restore healthy functioning.

Her clinical work also includes extensive experience with women who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma, members of the LGBTQ community, couples, and men struggling with codependency and addictions. She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, MATCH - a modular approach for treating children with anxiety, depression, trauma, and conduct issues - Multi-Systemic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These evidence-informed methods inform a flexible approach tailored to each person’s needs.

Her therapeutic style centers on the individual client and what is most useful in the present moment, balancing progress toward long-term goals with attention to immediate stressors that can derail progress. Her primary aim is to help people feel better in the areas of life that brought them to therapy and to support them through the steps of healing and change.

Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, helping people feel heard and respected while identifying their own goals and strengths. This approach supports growth in relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and to continue therapy from different locations when needed.
