About Kim

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York who focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, parenting, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

With 17 years of professional experience, she offers guidance for people navigating major life transitions, fertility challenges, postpartum and pregnancy-related emotional changes, and the complex feelings that follow separation or family conflicts. Her work also addresses attachment problems, codependency, communication difficulties, and affairs, among other relational stressors.

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and client-centered techniques to tailor support to each person's situation. Kim emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build practical skills for coping and improved connection.

Her practice aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes and strengthen relationships while navigating challenging life events.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Kim often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns; it includes practical skill-building and behavioral experiments. EFT concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships, helping partners and individuals understand their emotional responses and rebuild connection after conflicts or infidelity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities with each client to determine whether a skills-based focus like CBT, an emotion-focused path like EFT, or a blended plan fits best. Adjustments are made over time based on what proves most helpful for the person's concerns and progress.

Online formats offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue care from home. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, support through life transitions, and communication work with partners while accommodating different needs for access and convenience.
