About Kimbalie

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleep, parenting, anger, career shifts, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.

Kim uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. She listens and then helps people try small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Her style is interactive and non-judgmental. She focuses on strengths people already have and on steps they can try between sessions.

Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and solution-focused techniques. That combination is used to address mood problems, trauma responses, and repeating patterns that cause stress or conflict. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways to respond, and setting short goals.

Kim trained at Barry University, where she earned a Master of Social Work in 2000, and she maintains her LCSW credential in Florida. She has two decades of experience helping people adjust after loss, divorce, and other major changes. Her background includes work with trauma, first responder issues, and blended family concerns.

People who seek her help are usually ready to make concrete changes. She asks questions, suggests practical tools, and follows up on progress. If someone wants to handle anger or stress with clearer strategies, Kim offers steady, straightforward support.

How sessions work

How Kim’s approaches translate to online work

Kim commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her work. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and helps people test new ways of reacting. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body during stress.

She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and increase willingness to try small changes. That approach is practical and conversational, focusing on what matters to the person and what steps feel doable. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into their normal routine.
