About Kimberly

Kimberly Johnston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, or struggles with addiction. She also helps those facing grief, life changes, relationship and family issues, and problems like low self-esteem or codependency.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and break big problems into manageable parts.

Kimberly combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix guides how she helps people change unhelpful thoughts, increase motivation, and improve emotional connections.

She frames work as a collaboration. Clients and the therapist set goals together and try techniques that match the client’s needs and values. Progress is measured in small, concrete changes such as better coping skills, clearer decisions, or steadier mood.

Kimberly emphasizes respect and acceptance during sessions. She encourages honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t, and she adjusts direction as needed to support steady forward movement.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. Online sessions use that same approach to help people feel heard and to identify practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood, and it teaches skills for changing unhelpful thinking and routines. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person’s needs, motivation, and daily life demands.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows people to try skills between sessions in their usual environment and bring those experiences back to talk through progress and setbacks.
