About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked in nonprofit and community settings, including trauma recovery and crisis services, and uses that background to guide practical, real-world care. She meets people where they are and focuses on what will bring relief now.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She helps people identify strengths, learn new skills, and make manageable changes over time.
Background and approach
Her work often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered methods. Kimberly tailors these approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those techniques will help.
Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, addictions, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, grief, and relationship and family problems. She also supports people coping with parenting stress, career challenges, sleep difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue. Kimberly aims to empower people by building on existing strengths and teaching skills they may be missing.
Her style balances challenge with support so clients can try new ways of coping. She works in English and practices in Florida.
How specific approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support to help someone understand their feelings and decide next steps. This approach can help with self-esteem, grief, and making sense of difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindful awareness, which can be useful for anger, impulsive behavior, and emotional overwhelm.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods seem most useful. Plans can change as needs evolve and the client gains new skills.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports shorter exchanges or ongoing check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
