Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong, LCSW

Kimbalie (Kim) Commissiong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She has two decades of experience supporting people facing mood disorders, ADHD, grief, divorce, career changes, and issues with self-esteem or sleep. Kim works with people who want practical tools and clear steps to feel steadier in daily life.

Her style is open and non-judgmental. Sessions are interactive and focused on building on each person’s strengths. She listens for what matters most and shapes work to meet real goals, not paperwork.

Kim draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She uses mindfulness to help people notice how they feel in the moment, and motivational interviewing to clarify what a person wants to change. Narrative and solution-focused methods help people reframe difficult stories and set small, manageable goals.

Over 20 years in practice have included support for people coping with trauma, family of origin concerns, blended family issues, infidelity, immigration stress, and first responder stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, guilt, and midlife questions.

Kim earned a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami in 2000 and holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Kim commonly blends cognitive behavioral work with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thought that increase worry or low mood and then test new, more helpful actions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills so people can observe feelings without being swept away by them, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and impulse control. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify what you want to change and build small steps that feel doable.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Kim works with clients to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools as progress unfolds, and she treats therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work.

Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy lives.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
