About Kim

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and anxiety. She supports individuals coping with parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Kim also works with people dealing with fertility-related stress and mood concerns including panic disorder and panic attacks.

Kim takes a direct and compassionate approach in session. She aims to build an open space where people can say what they mean and feel what they feel without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on improving communication and emotional connection.

Her work draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities, and on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy and the Gottman method to address relationship patterns and rebuild trust. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are available for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills.

Across 17 years of practice she has supported people through separation, infertility struggles, postpartum changes, and midlife transitions. Kim aims to help people find clearer answers and calmer moments in daily life. She frames therapy as a collaboration and invites clients to set goals that fit their values and routines.

People who choose Kim can expect straightforward feedback, practical strategies, and a focus on repairing relationships and reducing distress. Her practice emphasizes steady progress and usable skills rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to each person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and helps people clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process guides which tools and methods are used in sessions.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, make it easier to attend from work or home, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit isn’t possible. Online sessions can let people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation for immediate feedback.
