About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of experience. She has worked in nonprofit and clinical settings and has supported people through trauma, crisis, and long-term concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people move forward from stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in life.
Kimberly draws on an eclectic mix of methods to match each person's needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, and sometimes DBT or a client-centered approach fits better.
Background and approach
She also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those tools will help someone make progress. In sessions she starts by meeting people where they are and listens first. She helps clients build on existing strengths and adds skills when something is missing.
That can mean talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, or practicing new ways to manage strong emotions. Her background includes work with trauma recovery and rape crisis services, and she has experience across outpatient and inpatient settings. Those roles shaped how she supports people dealing with abuse, addiction, or complicated grief.
Kimberly aims to create a collaborative working relationship. She encourages clients to test what helps, learn new coping tools, and take steps toward the life they want. The focus is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's needs, focusing on respectful support and helping someone feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, mood, and coping with change. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by understanding goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will test techniques, adjust methods, and prioritize the tools that fit the person's pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for full sessions and role practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins fit live chat, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while using the approaches above in a practical way.
