Kimberly Fenner, LPC

Kimberly Fenner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate major life transitions and recover from trauma. She holds an MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. With 12 years of counseling experience and 16 years working previously as a social worker, she brings a broad clinical background supporting people facing chronic mental illness, life-altering disabilities, and complex changes in roles or routines.

Her practice emphasizes identifying strengths clients already possess, strengthening those capacities, and teaching practical new skills to manage change more effectively. Kimberly works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on related areas such as abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication problems.

Kimberly frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients make intentional choices to create meaningful lives even amid uncertainty. She draws on her social work background to help people look beyond current circumstances and build hope for a future shaped by purpose rather than defined by past events. Outside of work she has lived in Texas for more than 27 years and enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and learning about history.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly uses evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-guided action to create a more meaningful life. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where people meet with licensed professionals. Sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
