About Kimberley

Kimberley Rodriguez-Lepp is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build more effective coping strategies, while also incorporating approaches that emphasize emotional processing and values-based action. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and depression.

Kimberley also works with issues such as attachment and blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and communication or control problems that complicate daily life. Clients can expect collaborative work that combines skill-building with deeper exploration of emotional patterns and life meaning.

Kimberley aims to help people strengthen communication, recover from trauma, manage mood and behavior, and pursue meaningful changes that fit their values and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions, which can be useful for coping, chronic health challenges, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberley will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, and she integrates techniques from several modalities so the work can be both practical and emotionally attuned.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging which offers flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in ways that suit daily life while still working with licensed professionals toward skill development, emotional processing, and meaningful change.
