Kimberly Soutien, LMHC

Kimberly Soutien is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with relationship problems, sexual dysfunction and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Kimberly works in a collaborative way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings, not just talking about feelings.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Kimberly listens, asks clear questions, and helps people make small changes that add up over time. She encourages honest conversation about tough topics like trust, communication, and shame.

People come to her for help with attachment wounds, codependency, infidelity, and problems around control and guilt. She also supports exploration of life purpose, self-love, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics when those issues are part of someone’s story.

Kimberly aims to make the process manageable. She helps set focused goals, tracks progress, and adjusts the plan as needed. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through the next steps and what to expect in early sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps and relationship patterns. One approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relational patterns to help people notice how past experiences shape current connections and intimacy. This work can help with trust, communication, and attachment-related distress.

Another focus is on addressing trauma and its effects through structured, paced work that reduces overwhelm and builds coping skills. This approach aims to help people regulate strong emotions and regain a sense of agency after difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and make adjustments based on what is or isn’t helping. The process is gradual and tailored to personal preferences and life demands.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care while living in Florida without changing providers.
