About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across community mental health, inpatient and outpatient settings, and with people facing trauma, co-occurring disorders, and a range of life stresses.
She has substantial experience in trauma recovery, including time as a rape crisis therapist at a community mental health center. Much of her background is in the non-profit sector, where she supported people through serious life events and crisis. Her caseload has included people with single diagnoses and those with dual diagnoses, and she has run both individual and group work.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, and will draw on dialectical behavior therapy or client-centered work when that fits better. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also available tools she uses in sessions.
Kimberly describes therapy as a collaborative process. She begins by listening to where someone is right now, then helps them set practical goals. Sessions focus on skills, self-reflection, and building on existing strengths to manage issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and relationship strain.
She also works with concerns including parenting stress, grief, sleep problems, career challenges, bipolar disorder, codependency, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and are rooted in straightforward, problem-focused work.
To start, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps when someone needs a clear, nonjudgmental place to talk and to sort out feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises for anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotion and tolerating distress, which can be helpful for strong or fast-rising anger.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. If one approach does not fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking because the profile does not name specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that skills practice, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can help plan how to use session time so it fits daily life and addresses anger, stress, and related concerns.
