About Kimberley
Kimberley Rodriguez-Lepp is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, trauma and depression.
She focuses on understanding how emotions and attachment shape everyday behavior. Sessions often look at recurring patterns that cause pain and get in the way of feeling steady. Kimberley uses clear, practical language during sessions and helps people name emotions that feel hard to identify.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential ideas. That mix helps address both immediate coping skills and longer-running emotional themes. Clients work on communication, boundary setting, and coping strategies for stress and addictive behaviors.
Kimberley also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and body image worries. She integrates attention to life-stage issues such as aging and cancer-related strain when those affect daily functioning.
Her practice aims to help people get clearer about what matters to them, reduce reactive behavior, and develop steady ways of handling strong feelings. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name the feelings that drive their reactions. In online sessions this can mean the therapist guides a person to sit with an emotion, notice its sensations, and map how it links to behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action; it supports people who want to stop fighting internal experiences and begin taking small steps toward what matters. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflection, giving space for a person to lead the work and for the therapist to mirror what emerges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant, try approaches that match the client's goals, and adjust plans based on how things feel in session. Clients help set priorities and test methods over several meetings to see what fits best.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday break or scheduling around caregiving duties. It also lets people attend without travel time, and can allow sessions when physical mobility or illness make leaving home harder. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and scheduling so sessions match everyday routines.
