About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and spent several years as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a community mental health center.
Her background includes work with a wide range of people and problems. She has supported victims of crime, people with single and co-occurring diagnoses, and participants in both individual and group programs. Much of her career has been in the non-profit sector.
Kimberly uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy, and also uses client-centered and mindfulness techniques. She says CBT is broadly useful, but that other methods can fit better depending on the issue.
In sessions she aims to meet people where they are and work together on realistic goals. She offers direct feedback and practical skills when helpful, and sometimes provides steadier listening and normalization for what someone is facing.
People come to her for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family strains, substance concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses listed include codependency, domestic violence, family problems, sexual assault and women's issues.
Her approach blends skills training and talk work. She helps people build on strengths and practice tools for managing strong emotions and daily challenges.
How Kimberly's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify their own goals. It is useful when someone needs steady, nonjudgmental support and space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress through practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when anger or intense reactions are frequent.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision can shift over time as priorities change, so she checks in and adapts the plan together with the client.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can cut commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for every visit. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while using skills and exercises between sessions.
