Kimberly Lincoln

Kimberly Lincoln is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of experience. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and practices in North Carolina as an LMHC and LCMHC. Kimberly centers sessions on each person in front of her and focuses on practical steps that help in everyday life.

She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Sessions often include skill building for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with stress. Kimberly also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to shape care around what clients need in the moment.

Her background includes work with children and youth involved in the child welfare system and with families facing crises. She has substantial experience supporting women who survived childhood sexual trauma, people in the LGBTQ community, and adults managing codependency and addictions. This experience informs a flexible, problem-focused way of working.

In sessions she balances long-term goals with immediate concerns. If a sudden stressor comes up, she helps people address it so they can return to broader progress. Her aim is practical: to help clients feel better in the areas that brought them to therapy.

Kimberly’s specialties include mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and anger management, parenting and adoption-related issues, and career-related concerns. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and supports them through the process.

How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experience, with the clinician following the person's lead to identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each client to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions match what is most useful in the moment.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or choosing a session style that does not require video. Many people find online sessions help maintain consistency and integrate new skills into daily routines.
