Kimberly Fenner, LPC

Kimberly Fenner is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel steadier and more in control. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at building skills that work in everyday life.

She earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. Before counseling, she spent 16 years as a social worker supporting people with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities. That experience shaped her ability to look past current struggles and toward a livable future.

In sessions she helps clients identify strengths they already have and build new skills where needed. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based methods, along with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing. The work tends to be practical - setting small goals, practicing new habits, and checking what feels helpful.

She often supports people facing transitions like retirement, parenthood, injuries, or other sudden changes. She also works with concerns such as relationships, self-esteem, addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Kimberly aims to help clients make intentional choices and find moments of joy amid life’s demands.

Kimberly lives in Texas and brings a calm, steady presence to the work. Outside of counseling she spends time with family, travels, and reads about history.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and can explore changes at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals, what has helped in the past, and what feels realistic now. From there she tailors sessions and tools so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around a work break, or make it possible to speak from a quieter setting without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals use a mix of conversation, exercises, and between-session tasks to keep progress moving even when scheduling is tight.
