About Kimberly

Kimberly Lisle is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, and parenting or family concerns.

Background and approach

She has a long history working with attachment issues, adoption and foster care situations, and children and adolescents who have experienced placement changes or difficult behavioral challenges. Her work also addresses a wide range of conditions from OCD, panic and phobias to bipolar symptoms, anger, and coping with major life changes.

Her counseling style is direct, goal-oriented, and interactive, emphasizing respect, dignity, and compassion. Kimberly draws on evidence-based strategies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based approaches, client-centered techniques, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to create tailored plans.

Sessions focus on practical skills, improved communication, and resolving patterns that create distress, with treatment shaped to each person’s specific circumstances and goals. Clients can expect collaborative planning and adaptable methods that reflect decades of clinical experience in family and child-focused settings as well as work with adults confronting trauma, compulsive behaviors, and emotional regulation difficulties.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood, addressing compulsions, and improving daily functioning. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her work, focusing on how early relationships shape current emotional needs and helping clients develop healthier relational patterns and security in attachments. She incorporates client-centered techniques as well, offering empathic listening and collaboration to ensure goals reflect each person’s values and priorities.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment plans over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reach support from home or work. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between longer sessions, and flexibility when in-person access is limited, while still enabling a licensed professional to guide treatment and track progress.
