About Kim

Kim Linde is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - practicing in New York with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family problems, grief, intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and guilt and shame.

Kim helps people talk through difficult relationship patterns and the fallout from family of origin issues. She works with couples and individuals on communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and divorce or separation. Fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, including postpartum depression, are areas she has considerable experience with.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method guide work on attachment and rebuilding closeness in partnerships.

In sessions Kim focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is happening now. She encourages small, usable steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions include checking how coping strategies worked and adjusting plans when needed.

People who come for help with guilt or shame often look at where those feelings started and how they affect current relationships. Kim supports that process by sorting through relationship patterns, clarifying values, and practicing different ways to communicate. Her style is practical and grounded, geared toward helping people make choices that fit their lives.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective so they can weigh choices with clearer thinking. It is often used for relationship strain and issues tied to self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and how emotions shape interactions, which can help couples and people feeling stuck in repeated relationship cycles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kim will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Details about formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online session types before booking. In practical terms, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and medical appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is useful, or sessions without video when less bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting while focusing on the same relationship, mood, and stress issues addressed in person.
