About Kimbalie

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD. She uses straightforward language and a warm, open approach to help people who are ready to make changes. Kim emphasizes practical steps and realistic goals in early sessions.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami in 2000 and brings about 20 years of counseling experience. Over that time she has supported people through major life changes such as divorce, loss, and disability, and has worked with mood disorders and trauma-related concerns.

Kim’s style is non-judgmental and interactive. She focuses on individual strengths and works with each person to build actionable coping skills. Sessions often include problem-solving, small experiments to shift thinking, and motivational conversations to help follow through on goals.

Her methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. These tools are mixed and matched based on what a person needs that week. The goal is to create a clear plan that fits daily life.

If someone is ready to try therapy, Kim supports next steps with encouragement and practical direction. She aims to empower people to take the first steps toward change and to stay focused on measurable progress.

How practical therapy methods translate online

Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and breaks them into small steps to change how someone reacts to stress or anxiety. It is useful for sleep problems, anxiety, mood shifts, and career-related worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, stress, and concentration difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can still be practical: shorter check-ins fit into a lunch break, video meetings let people keep visual cues in the conversation, and audio sessions require less bandwidth. These arrangements can make it easier to balance therapy with work, parenting, and other daily demands while focusing on clear skills and steps to move forward.
