Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong , LCSW

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami in 2000 and has built a practice focused on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Her experience also includes supporting people through major life transitions such as divorce, loss, and disability, using practical strategies to restore balance and functioning.

Her counseling style is open, non-judgmental, and interactive, with an emphasis on identifying and using each person’s existing strengths to manage difficult times. She blends solution-focused techniques with cognitive behavioral and motivational methods, and incorporates compassion-focused principles to create tailored plans that align with individual goals. Communications and interventions are adjusted to fit the client’s needs and preferences, so treatment feels personal and goal-directed.

Kimbalie frames therapy as a collaborative process that requires insight and courage. She offers steady support and aims to empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Those ready to begin change can expect a respectful, strengths-based approach designed to help them move forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems. She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps clients clarify their desired outcomes and build small, practical steps toward change. This approach is useful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and coping with immediate challenges. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, making it a good fit when someone is working through difficult decisions or trying to adopt new habits.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kimbalie works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques so the process fits each person’s situation and pace. She adjusts strategies over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused care while adapting to each client’s lifestyle and communication preferences.
