About Kimberley

Kimberley Rodriguez-Lepp is a Florida-licensed LMFT with 25 years of experience who centers therapy on exploring internal parts and practical strategies to reduce suffering.

Background and approach

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive and emotionally focused methods to help clients untangle patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties. Her style combines empathic listening with structured tools to support clearer communication, healthier coping, and improved self-regard.

Her work attends to a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, sleeping problems, and anger management, as well as issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image.

Kimberley integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people clarify values, build resilience, and take meaningful action in daily life. She offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space where practical skill-building and deeper emotional exploration happen together.

Clients seeking sustained change can expect an approach that values collaboration and gradual growth. Kimberley emphasizes developing tools that fit each person’s life while also working with underlying emotional parts and attachment patterns that fuel recurring problems.

She practices in Florida and accepts clients internationally, providing flexible session options to meet diverse needs.

Integrating Parts Work and Practical Therapies Online

Internal Family Systems supports exploring the different parts of a person’s inner life, helping people relate differently to feelings and beliefs that drive behaviors and emotional states. This approach can be especially useful for clients dealing with persistent anxiety, trauma-related patterns, or recurring self-critical thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values while learning to make room for difficult emotions; it often helps with stress, avoidance, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley works alongside clients to identify which combination of Internal Family Systems, ACT, or other methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction as understanding deepens over time. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more empowered in shaping their therapy journey.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and continue work during life transitions or travel. Kimberley uses these remote formats to bring the same blend of empathic listening and practical tools to clients regardless of location.
