About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings and spent significant time in nonprofit programs supporting people after trauma. Kimberly’s practical style focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals.
She draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit.
Background and approach
She looks for what will help most in real life and adjusts strategies as needed. Kimberly often works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, addiction, codependency, and women's issues.
Her background includes work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and with people managing co-occurring challenges. Her sessions aim to strengthen existing resources and teach practical skills. That can mean building emotion regulation tools, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, or practicing new communication habits.
She also holds space for listening and normalizing difficult experiences when that is what someone needs. Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes growth and authenticity. Kimberly encourages people to try small changes, test what works, and bring their real-life concerns into therapy.
The focus is on usable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit real life
Client-centered therapy focuses on respect and listening. It gives people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, or practical guidance for personal change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches steps to shift unhelpful thinking and try new actions that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for problems such as anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and parenting stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness, which can be helpful for managing anger, strong mood swings, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily demands.
