About Kim

Kim Linde is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship strains, family conflict, grief, intimacy challenges, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports clients coping with depression, anxiety and stress, LGBT issues, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions including fertility-related concerns and pregnancy or postpartum difficulties. Her practice includes work around attachment, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and other family of origin problems.

Kim emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be explored honestly. She blends empathic, client-centered methods with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT, and integrates emotionally-focused work to strengthen bonds and repair communication.

Internal Family Systems ideas also inform her approach by helping clients notice and work with different inner parts. Her goal is to partner with each person or couple to identify meaningful goals, build coping strategies, and support lasting change.

Clients in New York can expect collaborative care that addresses both emotional experience and everyday functioning, with attention to fertility and family life issues when relevant.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and work with the many inner parts that influence feelings and behavior, offering a way to compassionately understand conflicting impulses and relieve inner tension. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on acceptance, empathy, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can explore their values and goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic while improving day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person or couple to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and may integrate techniques from these approaches to tailor the work as treatment progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue therapy without commuting and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what supports progress most effectively.
