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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
Very responsive Therapist who has my growth and mental wellbeing as a priority
She is not just Therpist but she embodies what she preaches. My hats off to this one. She is GREAT Therpist. Highly recommend!
Kim Ferren is an amazing therapist. She is a superb listener, and offers practical solutions for life problems both big and small. Can’t recommend enough!
Kim Ferren is an excellent therapist. She is easy to talk to and has pragmatic suggestions for dealing with a wide range of issues. She also does a great job explaining the source of relationship issues in a way where things don’t seemed hopeless or doomed to fail. Definitely recommend!
Kim is fantastic and I enjoy working with her for the past year.
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.
Very insightful and supportive promotes positive self talk and thinking always there to provide help and advice
Kim Ferren is an excellent counselor. A great listener who is skilled at setting goals tailored to both short term and long terms personal growth. Also just pleasant to talk to which is a big plus.
I've been talking with Kim for a few months now and I always look forward to each session. She really listens and has insightful comments and questions to help me grow and reflect. 100000% recommend!
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.
I am very happy with my experience with Kim so far. I wish the sessions were longer because I truly enjoy my sessions and believe they’re helping me a lot.
Kim is a very understanding. She listens and provides expert advice and support.
She is completely amazing and patient.
Very easy to talk to. I feel she hears my concerns and gives very good feed back.
