About Kimberley

Kimberley Rodriguez-Lepp is a Florida-licensed LMFT with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, sleep problems, trauma, and depression.

She uses straightforward, people-focused methods rather than jargon. Sessions often look at what triggers strong reactions and then practice different ways of responding. That can include learning to notice thoughts and feelings, testing out new behaviors, and improving communication in close relationships.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods are used to help people shift unhelpful patterns, feel more active in choices, and manage upsetting emotions like anger or resentment.

Kimberley has spent many years helping people navigate losses, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and problems tied to adoption and foster care. She also supports those coping with life transitions and the long-term effects of trauma.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills - clearer communication, handling hard feelings, setting boundaries, and small behavior changes that add up. The process is collaborative; goals are set together and adjusted as things change.

How sessions work

How Kimberley blends approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It helps people make values-based choices even when emotions are intense, which can reduce reactive anger and increase consistent action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center and supports clearer self-expression and stronger communication skills, often helpful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about your goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try things and adjust the plan so the methods match your needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose a session style that better suits their energy level - for example, a phone check-in when bandwidth is low, or a longer session when a deeper conversation is needed. Licensed professionals adapt the pace and tools to fit everyday life without promising a particular outcome.
