About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a Florida psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Her practice emphasizes ethical care and professional boundaries while helping people manage stress, sleep concerns, mood, and other life challenges.

Clients come for many reasons including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and challenges with attention and self-esteem. Dr. King has worked in community mental health, private practice, residential settings, and the Veterans Affairs Medical system. She has helped people across a wide age range and from diverse backgrounds.

Her background includes supervised training with clinicians known for work in childhood anxiety and trauma. That training and her varied clinical roles shaped a broad approach to assessment and treatment. She offers psychological assessment of symptoms, personality, learning, and cognitive functioning for both children and adults.

In session she uses practical, evidence-informed methods. This can include cognitive behavioral strategies, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance-based ideas, and attachment-focused work. She aims to combine research-based techniques with attention to each person’s strengths, culture, and life story.

Dr. King strives for an open, collaborative tone. She works with people to set clear goals, try manageable changes, and track progress. Her practice notes sleep and rest among the concerns she addresses, and she can discuss strategies relevant to sleep as part of broader treatment planning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on how emotions and attachment needs shape relationships and can help people better understand emotional responses and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a while, mixing techniques, or shifting focus as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent follow-up between in-person visits and allow use of worksheets or recorded exercises shared during sessions. Talk with the therapist about which approach and scheduling setup would best match daily routines and treatment goals.
