About Kimberly
Kimberly Fenner is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing big life changes and emotional strain. She focuses on practical steps people can use to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and codependency. Kimberly writes plainly about the work and aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable for everyday life.
She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. Those degrees inform a practical approach that draws on skills a person already has. Her counseling background includes 16 years as a social worker supporting people with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities, followed by 12 years as a counselor in Texas.
In sessions she helps people identify existing strengths, build new coping strategies, and try small changes that add up over time. Her style blends acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused thinking when it fits the person's goals.
Kimberly frames therapy as a partnership. She offers direct, compassionate conversation and practical exercises to use between visits. Her goal is to help people find more calm, clearer priorities, and better ways to handle everyday challenges.
Outside of work she has lived in Texas for more than 27 years and enjoys family time, travel, and history.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counseling
Kimberly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; this approach can help with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to big life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that lead to distress and to try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer to schedule sessions around work, family time, or medical needs, ask about current session options when you start the process.
