About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida. She holds a doctorate and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and has practiced for 15 years. Her work centers on helping people cope with major life shifts, stress, anxiety, and trauma while attending to practical daily concerns.

She draws on experience from community mental health, residential settings, private practice, and the Veterans Affairs Medical system. That range means she has worked with a wide variety of people across ages and backgrounds. She has provided both individual and group therapy and has conducted psychological assessments for children and adults.

Her approach combines several evidence-based methods tailored to each person’s needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings in techniques that focus on relationships and emotional patterns when those are central to a person’s difficulty.

Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Dr. King aims to understand each person’s strengths, culture, and values and then build a plan around those things. People can expect direct feedback, practical strategies, and attention to real-world problems like sleep, work stress, and family pressures.

Her listed areas include depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, grief, addiction concerns, body image and eating issues, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and coping with life changes such as aging or loss. Midlife transitions are among the concerns she addresses, helping people rethink priorities and plans.

To begin, prospective clients complete an intake process that helps match goals and priorities, and then Dr. King and the client set a path forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often with practical exercises to improve sleep, mood, and daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help when relationships or intimacy are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions helpful for managing appointments around work, caregiving, or health constraints, while others prefer in-person meetings; the therapist will discuss what structure best supports each person’s goals.
