    About Kimberly

    Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings and in nonprofit community programs. She meets people where they are and focuses on helping them move toward goals that matter to them.

    Her background includes time as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a community mental health center. She has supported people with single diagnoses and those with co-occurring conditions, and has worked with individuals and groups in a variety of settings. That experience informs a practical approach to common problems like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

    Kimberly uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She aims to teach skills people can use between sessions and to strengthen the abilities they already have.

    In a typical session she listens, helps clarify what matters most, and offers tools to try. Sometimes a person needs a sounding board and normalization; other times they need skill practice or tighter behavior strategies. She works collaboratively to set achievable steps and to build confidence in handling real-life situations.

    Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career shifts, bipolar management, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include codependency, domestic violence, family problems, sexual assault and abuse, and women's issues.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle, guided conversation to boost motivation and commitment for things like addiction, behavior change, or managing health challenges.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection to help someone feel heard and to explore their goals at a comfortable pace.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a tight schedule. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions still allow skill practice, motivational conversations, and reflective listening that mirror in-person work.
