More about Kim

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I'm Kim Ferren and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience, licensed in the state of Texas. I have a Master's in Counseling and have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I've worked in the clinical setting, in private practice, and in the in-patient hospital setting.

My therapeutic approach can best be described as client-focused, with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems. It's important to me to provide a calm and safe environment where you know you will be listened to and not judged. The client/therapist relationship is a key component in successful therapy, so I strive to establish a good rapport, then we will work as a team to establish goals and move forward.

Life presents many challenges, most of which we can confidently deal with; but there are times when we get stuck, or we've been deeply wounded, and we just don't know what to do. Asking for help is a great first step in finding your way through the tough moments.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kim has changed my perspective on life. I started working with her after a heartbreaking separation. Every session, we uncover and work through hidden traumas and any self limiting beliefs. I feel totally safe, seen, comfortable and completely understood. I feel a huge sense of relief after every phone call. I can’t recommend Kim + Better Help enough.

Kim is fantastic and I enjoy working with her for the past year.

Reviewed January 2022

After a year’s worth of sessions with Kim, I can wholeheartedly say that she genuinely listens and everything she says comes from the heart. I always looked forward to our sessions because she truly became a safe space and has given me a useful “toolkit” to easily navigate relationships in my life. Her advice always gave me a fresh, relieving new insight to every situation and I always felt a weight lifted off my head whenever she’d provide her solution-based therapy which I value so much. To top it off, she’s a lovely and easy person to talk to about absolutely anything.

Kim is wonderful. She listens and pays attention to what it is I share. Encourages communication and is so patience when it comes to processing what has been shared. The support and compassion she offers is genuine, which makes it easy to open up and be honest. Even more so, not once has she made me insecure about sharing my-experiences. I feel listened to, supported and cared for genuinely. I am grateful to have been paired with her. I hope she continues to help others as she helps me.
