Kimberly Lincoln

Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She holds the LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practices in North Carolina. Kimberly focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions use practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches alongside client-centered listening. She pays attention to immediate stressors that can get in the way of longer term progress and addresses those first so people can return to their goals. Kimberly has a background working with children and youth in the child welfare system and with families facing crises. She has also worked with survivors of childhood sexual trauma, people in the LGBTQ community, and individuals dealing with addictions and codependency. In sessions she helps people with parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment problems, and caregiver stress. She also works with mood and behavioral concerns including depression, bipolar, DMDD, and anger. People who come to her can expect a collaborative style that mixes problem-solving and skills practice with emotional support. Kimberly aims to help clients feel better in the specific areas that brought them to therapy and to build tools they can use after sessions end.

Using client-centered and skills-based approaches online

Kimberly uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and concerns, offering listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to test different techniques and decide what fits best based on goals and preferences. Sessions mix skill practice, talking through current problems, and adjusting plans as needs change.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, and Kimberly will tailor the approach so it fits daily life and practical constraints.
