About Kimberley
Kimberley Rodriguez-Lepp is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and parenting challenges. She practices in Florida and works with adults who want clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, and steadier emotional balance. Her sessions start by mapping what matters most to you.
She listens to the whole situation and then offers practical steps you can use between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, new ways to talk with others, or tools to calm racing thoughts.
Background and approach
Kimberley uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live according to their values. She borrows cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns.
Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on close relationships and emotional connection. She also supports people facing loss, abandonment wounds, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image struggles. Her experience covers trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and depression as well.
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Kimberley aims to make therapy useful from week one by setting simple, realistic goals and checking progress. People looking for help with parenting stress or life transitions often find this practical style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Kimberley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting-related frustration.She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her. This approach emphasizes listening, understanding, and helping people find their own solutions for self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing thought and behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete techniques for sleep problems, mood shifts, anxiety, and compulsive habits related to addiction or stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Therapy is shaped together to match what is most helpful for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video makes it easier to read nonverbal cues and work through relationship or emotion-focused material. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a short break in the day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, and flexible ways to stay engaged when scheduling is tight.
