About Kimberly

Kimberly Lisle is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience helping people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She offers practical support for depression, relationship strain, addiction issues, parenting challenges, and trauma. Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy families and individuals.

She uses clear, goal-focused sessions that are direct and interactive. Conversations cover real situations and teach concrete skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and handling crises. Clients can expect a plan tailored to their needs and checked regularly as progress is made.

Over 25 years in practice in Florida have shaped her work with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment issues, ADHD, codependency, and grief from life changes. That background gives her a pragmatic perspective when addressing parenting stress, compulsive behaviors, hoarding, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Clinically, she draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing. These methods are mixed to fit each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed formula.

Sessions focus on teaching skills for emotion regulation, improving relationships, and changing unhelpful thinking or behaviors. She pays attention to past hurts and current patterns so people can move toward steadier daily functioning and better self-esteem.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in bonding and emotional responses so they can build more stable connections and regulate intense feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It teaches step-by-step coping tools for anxiety, anger, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in heated moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work on skills in real time and bring examples from daily life into sessions. Ask about specific session options when scheduling to match therapy to your routine.
