About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has spent much of her career in nonprofit settings and community mental health, providing one-on-one and group support across a wide range of concerns.
Kimberly brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and aims to help people build the skills they need to move forward. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and has experience with trauma recovery, including time as a rape crisis therapist.
Background and approach
That background informs her work with people managing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, and the fallout from domestic or sexual violence. She also supports clients facing life transitions, career struggles, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Kimberly uses a mix of approaches.
She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and client-centered listening are also part of her toolbox, along with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when change is the goal. In sessions she starts by meeting people where they are.
She works collaboratively to set goals and to build practical skills. Sometimes the work is focused skills practice, and other times it is steady, empathic listening and validation. Her aim is to help people identify strengths they already have and to add tools they may be missing.
Kimberly focuses on helping clients toward greater stability, clearer choices, and a stronger sense of their authentic selves.

How Kimberly blends proven approaches in online therapy
Kimberly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and depression. CBT sessions often include homework and step-by-step skill practice to change patterns that cause distress.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are useful for managing intense emotions and improving how someone responds to conflict or strong urges.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor methods to fit. That collaborative process may mix techniques and shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face discussion and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and flexible contact during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
