Kimberly Balkcom, LMHC, LPC

Kimberly Balkcom is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and stress. She practices in Florida and uses straightforward, goal-focused therapy to help clients make practical changes in daily life. Kimberly speaks English and sees international clients who wish to work with her.

She helps people identify clear goals and steps they can take between sessions. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new ways to handle strong emotions, or testing small behavior changes that feel doable. Sessions are rooted in collaboration - the client’s experience guides what comes next.

Kimberly draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness methods are woven in to help with grounding and stress management.

Her background includes years working with addiction, attachment and trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She frames mental health work as an investment in everyday functioning and relationships.

New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and therapist availability; sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Kimberly aims to create clear, practical steps that fit into a busy life.

How online work can use client-centered and CBT approaches

Kimberly combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people manage addiction, anxiety, and mood struggles. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can be useful for addiction and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work stays useful and relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and maintaining continuity when travel or relocation happens. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, keep regular weekly sessions, or continue care across different locations.
