Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong, LCSW

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and sleep or self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and major life changes. Kim practices from Florida and brings 20 years of experience to her work.

Her style is open and non-judgmental. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps. She looks for each person's strengths and uses those strengths to build coping skills that fit daily life.

Kim draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused methods. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and set small goals that lead to change. She tailors the approach to each person rather than following a single formula.

Clients can expect a mix of short-term skill building and longer conversations about life patterns and meaning. Kim pays attention to how past family experiences shape current relationships and routines. She also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family stress, infidelity, and communication problems when relevant.

With two decades in practice, Kim blends experience with a practical orientation. She aims to make therapy understandable and doable. If someone is ready to work on change, she focuses on clear steps to move forward rather than vague promises.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together

Kim often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills like testing beliefs and building small routines to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices so people can notice difficult feelings without acting on them. These skills can help with stress, trauma reactions, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring values and goals and helping them find their own reasons to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She treats therapy as collaborative, adjusting techniques based on what helps most over time.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support between-session updates, quick skill coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
