About Kimberly
Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who centers her work on what each person needs in the moment. She blends practical talk with steady support to help parents and individuals manage stress related to relationships, parenting, grief, or trauma. Kimberly uses clear, goal-focused steps so people can feel better and move forward.
She earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and has practiced for 11 years in clinical settings.
Background and approach
Much of her early work involved children and youth in the child welfare system and families facing crisis. That background shaped her ability to handle complicated family dynamics and caregiving stress. Kimberly draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical strategies.
She often uses these tools to address anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help building motivation for change. In sessions she focuses on immediate problems as well as longer-term goals.
If a new stressor interrupts progress, she addresses that first so people can get back on track. She talks through coping skills, communication techniques, and practical ways to manage everyday strain. Her work includes support for people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, blended family tensions, and trauma from abuse.
Kimberly also offers help around intimacy concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She is based in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

How Kimberly’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs in the session. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people identify what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for parents who need a supportive space to talk through immediate struggles.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The choice adjusts over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and focused on real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting and life demands.
