About Kimberly
Kimberly Winkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 37 years of practice in Florida. She works with adults handling stress, anxiety, grief, anger, parenting strains, career worries, and other life changes. Sessions focus on real problems and practical next steps.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in view. That means listening to what matters most and helping set manageable targets. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to calm intense reactions and improve sleep by training attention. Solution-focused strategies help people break large problems into small, solvable steps. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her toolbox when past events are contributing to current distress.
Kimberly pays attention to cultural background and how prejudice or immigration stress can affect day-to-day functioning. She also addresses family of origin issues, abandonment, guilt and shame, and body image concerns when they show up in therapy. Work on anger often ties to relationship strain, resentment, or stress at work.
Practical coaching around routines, parenting challenges, and career decisions is available alongside clinical work. Sessions move at a steady pace and aim for skills clients can use between appointments. International clients may be accommodated; sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach begin with the client describing the most pressing problems and ends with clear next steps to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. The therapist and client may use worksheets, homework tasks, and short practical experiments to test new responses to anger or anxiety.
Mindfulness practice helps reduce reactivity and improve sleep by training attention and breath work. Sessions teach brief exercises that can be used during stressful moments or before bedtime to reduce tension.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress or setbacks occur.
The biography does not name specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use tools like guided worksheets and brief homework to keep progress moving between sessions.
