About Kimberly

Kimberly Mena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and 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 the concerns she works with. Kimberly has military experience and brings that perspective into her therapeutic work.

She uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive and mindfulness-based methods alongside narrative approaches. She also includes mind-body strategies and somatic elements to address how the body holds stress and trauma. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings.

Kimberly aims for a collaborative style. She helps clients name problems, set short-term goals, and try new coping skills. Conversations are paced to match what each person can handle and to build steady progress over time.

Her background in the Marine Corps and Army informs her understanding of high-stress jobs and life transitions. That experience influences how she listens and plans treatment, especially around trauma, grief, and identity shifts that follow major life events.

Kimberly offers telehealth services to adults across Florida and Texas. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Kimberly integrates cognitive techniques that help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching concrete tools to shift reactions and behavior.

She also draws on mindfulness and somatic-informed strategies that focus on present-moment awareness and bodily signals. These practices can help when trauma or chronic stress shows up as physical tension, sleep disruption, or trouble concentrating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to emphasize cognitive skills, narrative work, body-based practices, or a mix of methods.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to keep appointments around school or work. Licensed professionals commonly use telehealth so people can access care while juggling jobs, study, or caregiving.
