  • Anxiety and grief
  • Blended family issues

About Kimberly

Kimberly Mena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coaching among her main concerns. Kimberly also notes work with blended family issues and a range of related challenges such as communication problems and codependency.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing strain and trying small, practical changes that fit daily life. She uses practices from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and narrative methods to help people reframe painful patterns and find clearer choices.

Her background includes military service in the U.S. Marine Corps and the Army. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, stress, and identity concerns. She often combines talk-based methods with body-focused ideas to address how stress shows up physically.

People work with Kimberly to sort grief, manage anxiety, and navigate life changes such as separation or blending households. She includes strategies for relationship stress, jealousy, and issues tied to alternative sexual cultures when relevant to the person’s goals.

Therapy begins with a short assessment and moves at a steady, collaborative pace. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she offers services for adults in Florida. Prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also incorporates mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing skills to manage stress and keep strong emotions from taking over. Narrative methods are part of her work too; they help people make sense of difficult experiences and put painful events into a story that allows for new meaning.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kimberly approaches this collaboratively and adjusts techniques to match a person’s goals, history, and how they prefer to practice new skills. Clients and clinician decide together which approaches to emphasize as progress unfolds.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require being on camera if that helps with comfort or bandwidth. Ask about the exact formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
