Kimberly Mena, LPC, LMHC

Kimberly Mena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and Army and draws on that background to understand how hard experiences shape daily life and relationships.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and life transitions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. Kimberly combines practical skills with thoughtful listening so clients can feel heard and move forward.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside body-focused strategies. That can include cognitive methods to change unhelpful thought patterns, skills for emotional regulation, and somatic practices that attend to bodily responses to stress. Creative exercises and narrative work are also part of her toolbox.

Kimberly emphasizes culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can strengthen coping skills, rebuild resilience, and clarify what matters most to them. She supports people dealing with issues like codependency, chronic pain or illness, blended family stress, first responder issues, and identity concerns.

She currently offers telehealth services to adults in Florida and Texas. People interested in starting can expect a straightforward matching and scheduling process to set up an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Kimberly uses cognitive approaches that help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and ease depressive thinking. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and steady emotional responses.

She brings somatic and narrative elements into sessions as well. Somatic strategies pay attention to bodily signals and teach ways to calm physical stress responses, which can be useful for trauma and chronic pain. Narrative work helps people reframe difficult experiences and make meaning of life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. Adjustments are made as therapy proceeds so techniques stay relevant and useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can save travel time and allow people to meet with licensed professionals from their home region. Confirm current session options before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
