Kimberly Herring, LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 21 years of clinical experience working across a wide range of settings and populations. She has supported adolescents through older adults, people affected by crime and incarceration, and those managing single diagnoses as well as co-occurring or dual diagnoses. Her work has taken place in both outpatient and inpatient environments and includes individual and group therapy formats.

Several years of her career were devoted to rape crisis counseling and trauma recovery at a local Community Mental Health Center, and much of her experience has been rooted in the non-profit sector. She brings particular focus to women’s issues while remaining open to working with people facing many different challenges, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, career struggles, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include codependency, domestic violence, family problems, and sexual assault and abuse.

Kimberly uses an eclectic, evidence-informed approach to treatment and favors cognitive behavioral therapy, though she also integrates dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered methods when they better suit a person’s needs. She aims to meet clients where they are, collaborate on realistic goals, and build on existing strengths while teaching skills and tools that may be missing. Her style blends active challenge with supportive listening, helping people learn, grow, and move toward a more authentic whole self.

LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a state credential that authorizes her to provide professional mental health services in Florida. Kimberly emphasizes a compassionate, strengths-based practice that helps clients identify practical strategies and develop resilience over time.
