About Kenya
Dr. Kenya King is a Florida psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She earned a doctorate and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Virginia Tech and practices in Florida. Her work focuses on practical help for common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.
She has worked in many settings, including community mental health, residential programs, private practice, and the Veterans Affairs system. That variety means she has helped people from many backgrounds and life stages, from young children to centenarians. Dr. King draws on a wide range of approaches to meet each person where they are.
In sessions she aims to build a collaborative relationship. She listens for what matters to each person and uses that to shape treatment goals. Therapy often includes learning new coping skills, practicing ways to manage strong emotions, and testing out different ways of thinking and behaving.
Her clinical focus covers things like PTSD and trauma, grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and issues tied to identity and relationships. She also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, career change, or aging.
Dr. King uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She seeks to integrate what research shows works with each person’s values, culture, and strengths to help them move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, and then commit to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift how they relate to others, which can ease relationship and intimacy challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not listed here. Ask which session options are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from the process. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help make changes feel more doable.
