About Kimberly
Kimberly Nixon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and guilt and shame. Her practice also addresses difficulties with relationships, addiction, sleep and eating, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Kim uses straightforward, person-focused work to help clients find manageable ways forward. Sessions aim to identify strengths, build practical coping skills, and create a plan that fits each person’s goals. She combines talking through difficult events with concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thinking patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people settle anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing supports steps toward change when motivation feels stuck.
Kim also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. Treatment can address both immediate problems and longer-standing issues that influence current feelings and behavior. She frames therapy as collaborative work to understand causes and try new ways of coping.
Clients can expect focused talks about specific problems, practical skill-building, and review of progress over time. Her practice includes attention to challenges that come with aging, caregiving, serious illness, chronic pain, and isolation. Sessions are conducted in English in Florida.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them clarify goals and priorities. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and feelings of shame by centering the client's perspective and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior to test new responses to old problems. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for practical steps to reduce guilt-driven rumination.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to notice stress and physical reactions without immediately reacting. These practices can help with overwhelm, trauma-related anxiety, and day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and try methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed method.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to arrange sessions that fit your schedule and current life demands.
