Kimberly Herring , LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked across a wide range of settings and populations, supporting adolescents through older adults, survivors of crime, individuals who have been incarcerated, and people presenting with single diagnoses as well as co-occurring or dual diagnoses. Her background spans outpatient and inpatient care and includes both individual and group work.

Much of her professional time has been spent in the nonprofit sector, including several years serving as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a local Community Mental Health Center. That work informs a strong focus on trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, and related family and women-centered issues, while she also addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and career transitions.

Her approach is intentional and eclectic, blending evidence-informed methods to meet each person where they are. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) because of its broad usefulness, and she also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or client-centered techniques when those fit better. At times clients benefit most from reflective listening and normalization; at other times they need concrete skills or structured interventions. She works collaboratively with each person to build on existing strengths and to teach missing tools, with the goal of helping clients become more whole and authentic in their daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kimberly Herring

Kimberly Herring integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered methods into her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with trauma. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathic listening and support to help people clarify their goals and draw on their own strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine skill-building, reflective support, and practical tools tailored to the individual.

Online therapy with Kimberly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to access care from home, during breaks, or while balancing work and family commitments, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, effective support across different communication styles.
