About Kimberly
Kimberly Johnston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on 13 years of counseling experience to offer steady support for everyday struggles. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who feel worried or overwhelmed and want clear steps forward.
Kimberly makes room for where each person is starting from. Sessions center on building practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and helps people find realistic ways to move toward their goals. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person while also practicing specific skills that change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Solution-focused ideas help keep work goal-oriented and manageable. Kimberly has worked with people facing addictions, grief, anger, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and trauma-related struggles. She also supports those dealing with relationship stress, family problems, and issues like codependency or feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients sign up through the platform, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works for them. Her aim is practical progress: small changes that ease day-to-day life and build toward bigger goals over time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Kimberly commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person finds most important, which helps build trust and clear priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which works well in online sessions where skills and homework can be reviewed together.She may also bring in solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and motivational interviewing to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. Finding the right mix is part of the process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different activities or homework assignments.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in format, and text messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
