About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I have focused my counseling career on helping individuals adjust to various life transitions and traumas. These transitions may be due to retirement, parenthood, or moving into adulthood. The transitions may be by choice, such as marriage, or by force, such as a work-related injury. No matter what the cause of the life transitions, I have dedicated my career to helping people learn how to identify the skills they already possess, strengthen these skills, and then learn new skills in order to make the life changes they desire.

I also hold a BSW in Social Work from the University of Wyoming. Prior to becoming a counselor, I spent 16 years as a Social Worker focusing on helping individuals with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities learn to cope with life. My experience from this season of my career has helped enable me to look beyond the present circumstances and help individuals gain hope for a future created through circumstances, but not defined by those circumstances.

I believe that therapy is a journey for which all people can benefit in order to take charge of their lives and make intentional choices to find joy in the midst of a chaotic world. My role within this journey is to come alongside my client and help them grow during this season of change. I look forward to the opportunities for growth and change which are available as a partner with my clients.

On a personal note, I have lived in Texas for over 27 years and enjoy the diversity and opportunities available in the Lonestar State. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and learning about history.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kimberly Fenner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Kimberly has had a very positive impact on my mental health journey for several months. She has helped me better understand my current issues in my life and provided tools to change or reframe those issues with the hope of personal growth. I would recommend her assistance for those with anxiety, or someone who has gone through or is going through very difficult life situations.

I love that she doesn't just see me as a client but that I am more than what is going on with me in this season of my life. She is very thoughtful towards her clients and knowledgeable in her career. She is wonderful to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.

I appreciate Kimberly as she has helped me navigate family issues by offering alternative points of view to give me encouragement and instill confidence. She’s also helped me work through how to establish and instill boundaries. I have more peace in my life and I’m very grateful for her guidance.
