About Kimberly
Kimberly Mendoza is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with ten years of experience helping people navigate big life challenges. She practices in Florida and brings a direct, curious approach to sessions. Kimberly aims to meet people where they are and help them find practical ways forward.
She believes clients already hold important answers about themselves. Her role is to listen closely, ask focused questions, and point out patterns you might miss.
How Kimberly works
That makes sessions feel collaborative and grounded in what actually matters to each person. Kimberly uses a mix of methods to suit different concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to unpack thought and behavior patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns.
She also weaves in client-centered listening and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is needed. People come for a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and anger. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment wounds, family of origin problems, communication struggles, and gender dysphoria among other areas.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Kimberly works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to her schedule.

Online support options
Using Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Kimberly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stresses by teaching concrete strategies and experiments to try between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help when someone wants to move toward a meaningful life despite persistent worry or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly treats therapy as a collaboration and she will help clients choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Techniques can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is often best when visual connection helps the conversation, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging supports brief updates and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
