About Kimberly
Kimberly Winkel helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience and talks plainly about practical ways to feel better. Her work focuses on coping skills, mood concerns, and rebuilding motivation.
She uses straightforward, client-centered methods that start where each person is. Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps for relief. Kimberly blends solution-focused planning with mindfulness and tools from cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.
How Kimberly works
Her background includes long experience working with trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career strain, parenting stress, and sleep problems. Cultural awareness and concerns about prejudice and discrimination are part of her approach.
Kimberly pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment, and body image struggles when these shape present day problems. She also addresses guilt, shame, emptiness, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. Sessions balance practical coaching with emotional processing.
Therapy can include brief solution-focused sessions or deeper trauma-focused work, depending on what the person needs. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients while practicing from Florida as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).

How Kimberly’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps name what matters, and supports decisions that fit the person's life. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, life purpose questions, and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression and to improve sleep and focus. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on safely processing difficult memories and reducing triggers from past abuse or traumatic events. Finding the best approach is a shared process. Kimberly will work with the client to try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust plans. Sessions can mix approaches so therapy meets current goals and comfort levels. Online formats offer flexibility for busy days and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing check-ins between sessions.Start online instead of waiting
