Kim Linde, LMFT

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage relationship struggles, parenting stress, grief, anxiety, and changes in life stage. She works with individuals and couples who are dealing with intimacy concerns, mood shifts, or the strain of separation and divorce.

Kim uses clear, practical conversations to get to the heart of problems. She encourages honest talk about feelings and behaviors, then helps clients try small, doable changes. Sessions aim to be steady and supportive rather than rushed or overly technical.

Her training and approach draw on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, as well as emotion-focused methods to deepen connection and understanding. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior strategies and the Gottman Method when relationships need structure and skills practice.

With 17 years of clinical experience and a New York LMFT credential, Kim has worked extensively with people facing fertility challenges, postpartum concerns, and family-of-origin issues. She pays attention to attachment patterns, communication habits, and cycles that keep pain in place.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. Kim helps people build coping skills for panic, depression, and stress while also addressing shame, guilt, and forgiveness. Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and focused on real-life results.

She offers sessions that fit modern schedules and helps each person find practical ways to apply new habits between meetings.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Kim blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address both thought patterns and emotional bonds. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going and teaches practical exercises to test and change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core feelings and the interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict in relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person or couple about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these approaches. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, use shorter formats for skill practice, or pick the medium that feels most comfortable for regular check-ins.
