About Kimberly
LMFT in Florida with 13 years' experience, Kimberly Baptiste helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She focuses on young adult issues, grief, compassion fatigue, and concerns within LGBT identity. She uses practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Kimberly describes her work as straightforward and collaborative. She talks through what is causing distress and helps people pick concrete steps to feel better. Sessions often include examining thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of relating, and setting short-term goals to build momentum.
Her background includes thirteen years in clinical practice in Florida as a licensed marriage and family therapist. That experience includes supporting people after abuse and trauma, working through infidelity and jealousy, and offering counseling related to hospice and end-of-life situations. She has also assisted clients coping with antisocial and avoidant personality patterns when those issues appear in therapy.
In sessions she addresses family-related strain and relationship patterns without assuming a single solution. She brings approaches that focus on current problems and changeable behaviors, while also exploring how past experiences like adoption or foster care shape present reactions.
People who see her can expect practical tools and brief experiments between meetings. She helps set achievable targets, checks what’s working, and adjusts the plan when needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Using CBT and Relationship Work in Remote Sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing what changed. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Imago Relationship Therapy centers on how past relational experiences shape current interactions. Online sessions can guide structured dialogues, help partners or individuals notice interaction patterns, and practice new ways of communicating and reconnecting. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaboratively choose which methods to emphasize. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed so the approach fits the person's needs. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It can also support focus on behavior experiments that are practiced between sessions and reported back during meetings.Sheet 3
