About Kim

Kim Linde is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in New York. She helps people who are struggling with relationships, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

Parents looking for support with parenting stress or family conflict will find practical guidance and steady presence. Kim uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people sort through painful moments.

Sessions focus on what matters most now - improving communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding connection after a breach. She draws on approaches that emphasize emotion, behavior, and practical skills so people leave with tools they can use at home.

When fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, or family-of-origin issues are part of the picture, Kim helps clients map their feelings and next steps. She pays attention to relational patterns such as attachment worries or codependency and helps people notice the behaviors that keep them stuck.

Her style balances warm support with clear strategies. That can mean practicing new ways to talk, learning simple coping skills, or experimenting with small changes between sessions.

Over time the focus is on building more stable emotional responses and healthier patterns in relationships. Kim has 17 years of clinical experience as an LMFT.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so sessions can fit into busy and changing schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship and emotional work

Kim often draws on the Gottman Method to help couples notice interaction patterns and practice small, concrete skills to improve communication and connection. Sessions using this approach tend to focus on exercises that change how partners talk and solve problems together.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, accepting environment where people can speak openly about their feelings. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel understood while deciding their own direction.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed based on what works. Clients help guide which strategies are emphasized in sessions.

Online therapy with Kim is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues and face-to-face interaction matter, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue work between in-person commitments.
