About Kenya
Dr. Kenya King is a Florida psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Virginia Tech and practices in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and many other life challenges.
Dr. King has worked in community mental health, residential settings, private practice, and the Veterans Affairs medical system. She has provided individual and group therapy for a wide age range, from young children to older adults. Her background includes training with researchers and clinicians who focus on childhood anxiety and trauma, and she has experience with evidence-based PTSD treatments.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when attention to emotions and attachment patterns is helpful. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as they fit the client’s needs. Sessions typically focus on clear, practical steps and on noticing emotions and interaction patterns that keep problems going.
Dr. King also offers psychological assessment services for children and adults when evaluation of symptoms, personality, learning, or cognitive functioning is needed. She pays attention to culture, interpersonal style, and life context when deciding which methods to use. The therapeutic work is collaborative and organized around the goals the person brings to sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and interaction patterns. It can help people notice how emotion shapes their responses and learn new ways to express needs and connect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to values-based action; this can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current attachment patterns and aims to shift those patterns toward healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and the issues presented. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, accommodate mobility or caregiving demands, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, emotion-focused interventions, and cognitive-behavioral tools to work over video or phone, helping people use what they learn between sessions in everyday life.
