Kimberly Herring, LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 20 years of experience. She has spent much of her career in nonprofit and community settings. Her work has included outpatient and inpatient roles and both individual and group work, and she draws on that range when meeting new clients.

She brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior approaches and client-centered methods when those fit better. Kimberly emphasizes listening, normalizing, and offering concrete tools alongside support.

Her background includes time as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist in a community mental health center. That experience informs how she approaches trauma, grief, and sexual assault and abuse concerns. She also focuses on women's issues, codependency, domestic violence, and family problems among other areas.

Kimberly aims to meet people where they are and work together toward realistic goals. She helps build on existing strengths while teaching skills someone may be missing. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person's needs and pace.

People come to her for a wide range of struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, addiction, bipolar challenges, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She works to create a working relationship that supports growth and more balanced daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique experience. It emphasizes empathy and support so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance with skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and it can help with strong emotions and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kimberly will talk with a person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten the time spent traveling, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or family obligations. It also lets people use techniques learned in sessions in their day-to-day environment. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to remote sessions while focusing on practical skill practice and steady collaboration.
