About Kimberly

Kimberly Lisle is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She has 25 years of experience helping parents and caregivers manage stress, anxiety, behavior challenges, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She works plainly and directly to help families find clearer routines and more effective ways to respond to difficult behavior.

Kimberly often supports families with children and adolescents who have attention or impulse-related struggles, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or conduct problems.

Background and approach

She also works with people coping with trauma, abuse, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Her practice addresses many day-to-day problems families face, including communication and control issues, attachment concerns, and parenting strategies. Her style is interactive and goal oriented.

Sessions focus on practical steps parents can try at home, specific communication tools, and ways to reduce conflict. She treats people with respect and compassion while keeping conversations focused on change. Kimberly draws on attachment-based approaches, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing.

She shapes treatment plans to the family’s needs and adjusts methods as progress is seen. She practices in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. Sessions are offered in English and include options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online approaches for family and parenting support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on building safer, more dependable relationships between caregivers and children. It helps parents understand how past relationships shape a child’s behavior and teaches strategies to strengthen trust and connection.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the family’s concerns and goals at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and helps parents and children find their own solutions through empathetic, respectful conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage impulses, and change patterns of behavior that cause conflict in the home.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will discuss options based on the child’s age, the family’s goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods as progress happens so the plan fits the family’s pace and needs.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching, or reminders about strategies. These options provide flexibility so parents can get support from home, school, or work while working toward clearer routines and calmer interactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
