About Kimberly
Kimberly Baptiste is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and grief. She practices from Florida and brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work. Kimberly aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed.
Her sessions often start with narrowing what matters most right now. She uses simple, goal-oriented techniques so clients notice small changes quickly. Conversations are direct but warm, with room to process difficult memories and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Kimberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy when couples or partners want clearer communication and less reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear when clients want to clarify values and set reachable steps toward change.
She has particular experience with adoption and foster care concerns, young adult transitions, and grief that comes with loss or end-of-life situations. Kimberly also supports people navigating depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she prioritizes cultural awareness and respectful listening.
The focus is on building practical skills, improving communication, and helping people feel steadier day to day.
How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online sessions
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Imago Relationship Therapy is also part of her work when communication and connection need attention; it teaches structured dialogue to reduce reactivity and improve understanding.Finding the right approach usually happens together. She will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Then she and the client agree on strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter appointments, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
