About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. Kim accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Kim prefers a direct and interactive counseling style. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings and on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her work on thoughts, coping skills, motivation, and how personal stories shape current struggles. She uses straightforward techniques rather than long theoretical explanations.
People who come to Kim often want help managing anger that shows up at home or work, repairing communication, or coping after separation or loss. She also supports those facing abandonment wounds, blended family issues, immigration stress, first responder concerns, and loneliness.
Kim earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami in 2000. She draws on two decades of practice to help clients set clear goals and track progress. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Sessions are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.
How Kim uses evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
Kim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood issues.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness helps people pause before acting on strong emotions and can be useful for anger and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. It focuses on exploring ambivalence and building momentum toward realistic goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new issues come up.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work, and Kim will discuss what works best for your situation.
