Kimberly Johnston, LMHC

Kimberly Johnston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that can reduce daily strain. The first meeting is about listening and understanding the immediate struggles before planning next steps.

With 13 years of experience, Kimberly draws on a few different approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered methods to make space for each person’s values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and create small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented and actionable.

In sessions she aims to build on existing strengths and teach coping tools for mood shifts, grief, and stress. Practical skills can include managing difficult feelings, improving how someone talks to themselves, and breaking addictive patterns into manageable steps. Work is steady and paced to what the individual can handle.

Kimberly emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps so progress feels measurable. She offers a non-judgmental, accepting atmosphere that honors each person’s values. Over time she helps people move toward greater confidence and clearer purpose.

People who want straightforward, strength-focused support often find this style helpful. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and details to make sure they match the person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect priorities and help the person set their own pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it often uses short exercises and homework between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings to improve how they relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust as progress or challenges arise.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue steady work over time when life gets busy or when someone needs consistent access to a therapist. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match everyday responsibilities and steps toward change.
