About Kim
Kim Scheft is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 29 years of experience. She creates a straightforward, respectful space for people who are feeling overwhelmed, angry, or stuck. Kim listens first and then helps people find usable steps to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Her approach is practical and calm. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are offered to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and impulsivity feel hard to manage. Kim has practiced in Florida for many years and brings experience with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting strain, anger, depression, grief, trauma and mood concerns. She also addresses patterns like codependency, control issues, and family of origin problems.
The work is focused on what helps an individual navigate those challenges in daily life. Sessions are aimed at teaching coping skills, improving communication, and repairing connections where possible. She uses listening, reflection, and practical exercises such as coping strategies and role practice.
Hypnotherapy is included among her methods when it fits a person’s goals. People who prefer a steady, empathetic guide and clear tools to manage feelings often find her style helpful. To begin, the site matching process is used to pair a person with the right schedule and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering reflective listening to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that affect mood and behavior, then practicing small experiments to change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for anger and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they will try methods that feel workable and adjust as real-life results become clear.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote work helps fit sessions into a busy week, makes it easier to attend from different locations, or allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others appreciate that certain exercises and skills practice can be done between meetings and then reviewed during sessions. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches so the work stays focused on practical changes and emotional steadying rather than abstract theory.
