About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career issues, mood disorders and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Kim uses straightforward, interactive counseling. She listens, asks practical questions, and works with clients to find what helps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work and solution-focused strategies to guide the work.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Barry University, completed in 2000, and two decades of clinical practice supporting people through life changes. That experience includes helping people adjust to divorce, loss, disability and other major transitions.
In sessions she focuses on skills and small changes that add up. That can mean trying new ways to manage anxious thoughts, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or identifying clearer steps toward a goal. Notes and planning are aimed at what to try between meetings.
Kim emphasizes collaboration about goals and methods. She will talk through treatment options and adjust approaches based on what works for each person. To get started, she asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to test new behaviors and beliefs; it is often used for anxiety, mood issues and unhelpful routines. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices and attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different methods, try them in sessions, and adjust based on what a client finds helpful and realistic for their life and goals.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Some people prefer video to see body language, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or a quicker session; Kim will review practical preferences and match an approach that fits the client’s routine and goals.
