Kimberly Herring , LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience. She welcomes straightforward conversations and gives practical guidance for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and women’s issues.

She has worked in nonprofit and community mental health settings, including roles supporting people recovering from sexual assault and other trauma. That background shapes how she listens and responds in session. Kimberly draws on long experience with both short-term and longer-term concerns.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She meets people where they are, then helps them set realistic goals and build skills. Sessions often include clear tools and steps clients can try between meetings.

Kimberly uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is commonly used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered methods provide space for people to be heard and understood.

The aim is practical change and stronger coping. She focuses on strengths clients already have and adds skills they may be missing. People who want direct feedback, concrete tools, and steady support are likely to find this approach helpful.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people room to tell their story and be understood so they can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and handling distress more safely, which can help with anger, relationship stress, and self-soothing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. That plan can change over time as different needs emerge, and decisions are made in collaboration so clients feel involved in the process.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, step-by-step tasks, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit regular support into real life and try different formats to see what works best.
