About Kim

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps with relationship and family concerns. She supports people facing grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and stress. Kim also addresses LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.

She brings 17 years of experience and practices in New York. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. She listens closely and helps clients name patterns in relationships and in their own reactions.

Background and approach

Work often focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or navigating divorce and separation. She has particular experience around fertility and pregnancy-related struggles, including postpartum depression and other childbearing concerns. Attachment issues, codependency, and family of origin problems are also part of her focus.

Kim uses practical tools so clients can try small changes between meetings. Her approach draws on several well-established methods. Techniques include helping clients spot unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, practicing emotion-focused skills to reconnect with partners, and using structured methods for couples to strengthen bonds.

Kim aims to work collaboratively with each person or couple. She helps set clear goals and adjusts the plan as needs evolve. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, geared toward making therapy feel doable for busy families.

Approaches for couples and families online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people feel heard. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic listener to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress and offers tools people can practice between sessions. The right approach often emerges together. Kim works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each family's goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so work feels relevant and manageable rather than overwhelming. Online sessions offer several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let partners join from different places, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to sustain consistent support while managing day-to-day responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
