About Kimberly

Kimberly Fenner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigating major life changes and difficult transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to identify their strengths, build new skills, and move toward the life they want. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and challenges that come with aging and caregiving.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady skill-building, and honest conversation about what matters most. Kimberly spent 16 years as a social worker before becoming a counselor, and she uses that background to help people cope with long-term conditions and changes that affect daily life.

Kimberly earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and has a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. Her earlier social work roles involved supporting people with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities, which shaped her practical, hopeful outlook.

In sessions she helps clients notice the resources they already have, strengthen those resources, and try new ways of responding to hard situations. She describes therapy as a joint effort where clients set the direction and she supports progress through steady, focused work.

Outside of practice she has lived in Texas for more than 27 years. She spends free time with family, travels, and studies history, and brings a down-to-earth approach to conversations about change and resilience.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, using empathic listening and support to help someone find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, so the plan can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions when circumstances change, while the therapist and client focus on real-world skill practice and steady progress.
