About Kimberly
Kimberly Tomlinson is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach
Kimberly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional bonds, and she uses attachment-based ideas when relationship history matters. She also incorporates client-centered methods that focus on the person’s goals, and cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when stress tolerance, emotion regulation, or interpersonal skills need attention.
Treatment plans are shaped to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Kimberly is licensed in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has worked across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment.
She offers individual and couple-focused sessions and can include faith-based perspectives when clients request them. Her style is warm and direct. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, practical tools, and building stronger emotional connections.
People who want guidance on communication, coping with life changes, or recovering from trauma may find her approach useful.

Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Kimberly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and change interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on feelings and emotional bonds, which can help with relationship strains, intimacy problems, and healing after trauma.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. That approach helps people understand why they respond the way they do and supports building more stable connections. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk and try new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and concerns, and together they decide which methods to emphasize. Plans can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work for shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, whatever a person’s schedule or location.
