About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a Florida Psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She earned a doctorate in clinical psychology and has worked across community mental health, private practice, residential settings, and the Veterans Affairs medical system. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, parenting, addictions, and relationship matters.

Her background includes training with clinicians known for work in childhood anxiety and trauma. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets treatment goals. She offers individual and group therapy and has seen clients across a wide age range and from varied backgrounds.

Dr. King uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of her work and she also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they suit a client’s goals. She integrates techniques from interpersonal and multicultural frameworks as appropriate.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing alternative responses. She helps people develop skills for managing symptoms, improving communication, and coping with life transitions. Work may include structured exercises, behavioral experiments, and skills practice between meetings.

Her practice also includes psychological assessment services for psychiatric symptoms, personality, cognitive, academic, and intellectual functioning in children and adults. People who want a clear plan and practical strategies for everyday problems may find this style useful.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online work using CBT often includes setting concrete goals, assigning short exercises to try between meetings, and reviewing progress together to change patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. In brief online sessions this can mean identifying values and small, manageable actions to practice between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and bonds. Online sessions can use focused conversations and exercises to improve communication patterns and emotional connection. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust techniques based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative decision happens early and can change as needs evolve. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also require less bandwidth or allow for a phone check-in instead of video, which can help when schedules are tight.
