About Kenya

Dr. Kenya King is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida. She holds the Florida Psychologist license PY10101 and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her practice emphasizes ethical care and a straightforward, supportive approach for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Dr. King draws on years of work across community settings, independent practice, residential care, and the Veterans Affairs medical system.

She has experience with both individual and group therapy and has worked with clients across a wide age range.

Background and approach

Her background includes training with recognized experts in child anxiety and trauma, which shaped her skills in trauma-informed care and assessment. In sessions she uses practical, research-backed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. She focuses on helping clients notice patterns, build useful skills, and make changes that matter in daily life.

The tone is collaborative and solution-focused while honoring each person’s story. Dr. King also addresses concerns like addiction, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, relationship struggles, and caregiver stress.

She offers coaching-style support when helpful, alongside traditional therapy. Her practice includes assessment of symptoms, personality, and cognitive functioning when needed. Clients can expect direct conversation about goals and progress.

Dr. King aims for clear, practical steps you can use between sessions. She works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

Online therapy approaches and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and present-moment awareness. It helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many day-to-day struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change the ways they connect and feel safe with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and suggest methods that fit the person. That conversation is collaborative - plans can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, process feelings, and check progress between meetings, so care can stay practical and accessible.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
