About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned advanced degrees in clinical psychology and has worked across community mental health, residential care, independent practice, and the Veterans Affairs system, building a broad foundation in assessment and therapeutic work for diverse concerns.

Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed approaches, and she offers both individual and group therapy for a wide range of presenting issues. Her style emphasizes ethical practice, professionalism, and collaboration.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can identify goals and explore strengths while learning practical skills. Treatment draws from research-backed methods alongside attention to each person as a whole - integrating cognitive, interpersonal, psychodynamic, humanistic, motivational, supportive, and multicultural perspectives as appropriate.

Dr. King’s clinical scope covers mood and anxiety symptoms, trauma-related concerns, grief, stress and anger management, self-esteem and identity issues, addictions and coaching needs, sleep and eating problems, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and more.

She also provides psychological assessment services for children and adults and adapts interventions to meet individual needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. King offers several evidence-informed approaches suited to different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility through acceptance strategies and committed action, which can be useful for chronic stress, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, supporting work on intimacy, attachment injuries, and communication patterns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions and integrates methods as appropriate so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to daily life. These formats allow scheduling flexibility and ongoing contact options for skill practice and check-ins while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
