About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with two decades of clinical experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders including bipolar, and life transitions such as divorce, loss, and other major changes.
Background and approach
Her background also includes work with parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, anger, ADHD, and a range of issues connected to family of origin, communication, and isolation. Kim uses a collaborative, interactive style that centers on clients' existing strengths while introducing practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative and solution-focused techniques to tailor plans to each person's goals. She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental stance and works with clients to map realistic steps toward change.
With experience in both short-term problem solving and longer-term healing work, Kim aims to empower clients to build coping skills and clearer perspectives. She welcomes people ready to take steps toward greater well-being and supports them through the process of change.
Practical approaches for online support and change
Kim often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach offers structured strategies for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills, which can be useful for managing anxiety, sleep problems, and emotional reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is another element she may use to explore personal values and strengthen motivation for change, particularly when clients face ambivalence about goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to emphasize as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Kim is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care across time zones and life demands, and they support steady progress by fitting work on skills and goals into everyday routines.
