About Kim
Kim Scheft is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 29 years of experience. She offers a listening space where clients can be heard and begin to make changes. Her approach is calm and people-focused, and she encourages reaching out as a first strong step toward feeling better.
She uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Kim helps clients learn coping skills and identify patterns that get in the way of daily life.
How Kim works
She blends active listening with practical tools rather than relying on jargon. Her background includes long clinical experience in Florida and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and hypnotherapy. Those approaches guide how she helps clients notice thoughts, emotions, and interaction patterns.
Sessions focus on small, realistic changes you can try between meetings. Kim uses reflective questions, skill coaching, and problem-solving to address issues like parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related concerns, family conflict, and impulse-related problems. She also supports people facing divorce and separation challenges.
Her style is flexible and gentle, adjusted to each person's pace. People who want clear tools plus a listening presence often find this style helpful. To begin, follow the site's process to connect and schedule a session.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. It emphasizes empathy and letting clients lead the pace while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines skill learning with emotional regulation tools and can help with strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client's needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Sessions often mix listening, coaching, skill practice, and check-ins to see what works best.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting to focus on skill-building, emotion work, and improving relationship patterns.
