About Kimberly
Kimberly Fenner is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She meets adults facing relationship struggles, grief, addictions, sleep problems, mood concerns, and career stress.

Kimberly earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming.
Background and approach
She spent 16 years as a social worker supporting people with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities before moving into counseling. That background shaped her focus on practical coping skills and realistic hope. In sessions she helps clients identify strengths they already have.
Then she works with them to build on those strengths and learn new ways to handle change. She frames therapy as a partnership where the client sets goals and the counselor helps map a path forward. Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening.
Those methods are used to reduce anxiety, improve mood, manage anger, and address trauma or addiction concerns. Kimberly practices in Texas and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work. Outside of the clinic she enjoys family time, travel, and learning about history.
She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps toward a more manageable life.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then focus on small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change those patterns, which often helps with sleep problems, anger, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard while they identify their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will help figure out which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches when helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made, working together with each person to set achievable steps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging help keep momentum between sessions or suit people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
