About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a Florida Psychologist with 15 years of experience providing assessment and therapy. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Virginia Tech and has worked across community mental health, private practice, residential settings, and the Veterans Affairs health system. Her practice addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin concerns.

She has worked with a wide range of people from different backgrounds and life stages. That breadth means she is used to adapting how she talks and plans therapy to fit different needs. She offers individual and group therapy experience and has worked with both children and adults in clinical roles.

Dr. King’s clinical work draws on several evidence-based approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for treating mood and anxiety problems and incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas when those fit the concern. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) are also part of her toolkit for emotion regulation and relational patterns.

Her background includes training with clinicians who focus on childhood anxiety and trauma, and experience in assessment of symptoms, personality, and cognitive functioning. That assessment experience informs how she tracks progress and selects interventions.

In sessions she focuses on clear, collaborative work. She helps people identify patterns that came from their family of origin, learn skills to manage symptoms, and make practical changes that match their goals. To begin, she asks about what someone hopes to change and then plans steps to get there.

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Dr. King uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress and focuses on practical skills and clear steps.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on long-standing patterns that come from early family relationships and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins on stressful days. They can also make it simpler to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or medical commitments.
