Kim Linde, LMFT

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, midlife transitions, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related concerns. Her tone is direct and supportive, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She creates an open setting where people can talk without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer patterns in relationships and emotions. Kim pays attention to attachment and codependency issues that often underlie recurring conflict.

Her work includes helping people with fertility-related stress and the complicated feelings that follow pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum concerns. She also supports those coping with separation, infidelity, guilt, and family-of-origin problems. Conversations can move between current problems and past relationship patterns to make sense of how they connect.

Kim uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to the client, and uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing mood and anxiety. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central.

With 17 years of experience, Kim emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of communicating, and build coping strategies for life changes. The work is practical and grounded in everyday concerns.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let conversations center on what matters now and on practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors; it often uses homework and brief skill-building that fit well into remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how partners or individuals respond emotionally to one another and helps shift those patterns toward safer connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with clients about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That choice can change as progress is made, and the plan is adjusted in collaboration with the client.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy days, makes follow-up tasks easier, and supports steady progress between appointments. Online work can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, practice skills in real life, and maintain momentum during life transitions.
