About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings and in nonprofit programs. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, and related issues.
She has experience with people at many stages of life and with diverse needs. That background includes time as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist and work in community mental health programs. She has supported people with single diagnoses and those with co-occurring concerns, and she has worked in both individual and group settings.
Her approach draws on several methods and is practical in focus. Kimberly often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those fit the situation.
In sessions she tends to be direct and action-oriented. She helps people learn skills, try different strategies, and test what works. At times a person only needs a steady listener and a clear reflection of their experience; other times they need concrete tools to change patterns.
Kimberly aims to work collaboratively, starting from where a person is now and building on their strengths. She also highlights women's issues among her interests while helping with a wide range of life challenges and family-related concerns.
How sessions work
How her approaches adapt to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kimberly will work with a person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new needs appear.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and let people meet from different locations. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals often combine skill-based work like CBT with mindfulness exercises and DBT skills in online sessions to address stress, parenting strains, trauma recovery, and relationship concerns.
