About Kimberly
Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of experience. She has worked across community and clinical settings and supports people through a wide range of problems. Her practice includes attention to sleep and rest concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
She has experience in nonprofit and clinical environments and has provided both individual and group care. Kimberly has worked with people in outpatient and inpatient settings and has supported survivors of sexual assault and other forms of trauma. Her background includes years in rape crisis and trauma recovery work at a community mental health center.
Kimberly uses a flexible, practical approach. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful, and also draws from dialectical behavior ideas and a client-centered stance. She invites people to try tools, practice skills, and notice what helps their sleep, mood, and daily functioning.
The aim in sessions is straightforward: start where the person is and work together toward clear goals. Kimberly looks for strengths to build on and teaches simple strategies for coping, self-care, and better rest. She also offers space to talk and to be heard when that is what’s needed.
People often come for help with grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, anger, career stress, or compassion fatigue. Kimberly focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through stress or life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills and can help with strong emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session logistics should fit into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around school, work, or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills in their real daily routines without traveling to an office.
