Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong, LCSW

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and midlife transitions. She aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Kim trained at Barry University, earning a Master of Social Work in 2000. She brings about 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes like divorce and loss. Her work also covers concerns such as ADHD, mood disorders, parenting strain, and career stress.

Her style is open, non-judgmental, and interactive. Sessions emphasize personal strengths and concrete tools clients can try between meetings. She adapts the plan to each person's goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine.

Kim draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based ideas. In practice this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking, setting small achievable goals, and noticing patterns that shape everyday choices.

People who are ready to make changes will find guided support and encouragement. Kim describes therapy as a collaborative process where insight and action go together. She invites prospective clients to take a first step toward clearer priorities and more manageable routines.

Approaches applied to online and remote work

Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as practical tools. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and tries concrete experiments to shift them. This approach helps with anxiety, sleep problems, mood issues, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing centers on clarifying what matters to the person and building commitment to small behavior changes, which can help with career shifts, managing ADHD, or navigating relationship decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed, with a focus on what feels useful in daily life.

The original profile does not specify which session formats are used online, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and let people join from quieter surroundings. It also allows focused check-ins and homework review between appointments, helping tools learned in sessions transfer into everyday routines.
