About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of practice in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, sleep problems, and life transitions. Kim uses a direct, caring approach that focuses on practical next steps and personal strengths.
Her sessions are conversational and nonjudgmental. Kim combines solution-focused ideas with cognitive behavioral and motivational techniques to create a plan that fits each person. She often brings mindfulness and narrative work into sessions to help people name patterns and shift unhelpful thinking.
Kim’s background includes a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami, earned in 2000, and 20 years of clinical experience. She has supported people through divorce, grief, disability, and career changes, and she has worked with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, anger, and parenting strain.
In sessions she looks for concrete skills clients can use between meetings. That might mean small behavior changes to improve sleep, simple cognitive strategies to reduce anxiety, or short goal-focused steps to manage stress. The plan is adjusted as progress is made.
Her style centers on collaboration. Kim talks through challenges, highlights strengths, and helps set realistic goals. People who want practical tools and steady support may find this approach helpful.
How Kim Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Kim often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, sleep issues, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck and needs clear, achievable next steps. Together these methods aim to create practical plans rather than lengthy theory, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of techniques.

Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people practice skills in the settings where problems arise.
