About Kimbalie
Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and major life changes. She practices in Florida and speaks English. Kim focuses on practical skills that people can use right away to feel steadier and think more clearly about next steps.
Her sessions are open and non-judgmental. She uses a conversational, interactive style and encourages clients to build on their existing strengths.
Background and approach
Meetings focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than long lectures or vague plans. Kim draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing helps people find inner reasons to change when they feel stuck. In sessions she often combines narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe difficult experiences and set concrete short-term goals. This mix is aimed at improving coping, sleep, mood, and daily functioning for people facing stress, parenting concerns, job transitions, or relationship difficulties.
Clients can expect a tailored approach that emphasizes small experiments and skills practice between meetings. Kim works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and goals. She supports people who want practical tools and steady guidance while they navigate change.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Kim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep difficulties. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people become more aware of their thoughts and bodily reactions so they can respond rather than react. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit too, helping people find internal reasons to make changes when they feel ambivalent.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and often changes over time. Kim collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and what feels practical. Sessions can mix methods so the plan meets real-world needs rather than following a single formula.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and do longer, in-depth sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
