About Kimberlee

Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 31 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career issues and other life changes. She also focuses on areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family stresses, caregiver strain, body image, and divorce or separation.

Her approach is practical and present-focused. She listens and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions concentrate on current concerns and on small, usable changes that affect day-to-day life.

Kimberlee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. She also applies EMDR for trauma work and draws on existential and mindfulness ideas when helpful. Treatment combines structured techniques with conversational problem-solving.

Her background includes individual and group counseling in a wide range of settings. These have included inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, community mental health, employee assistance programs, work with probation and parole groups, Native American health services, foster care families, and online counseling experience.

In sessions she teaches practical tools such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, thought-challenging, and goal-setting. She helps clients clarify goals and then builds on strengths to reach them. People who want straightforward, skill-focused work will find a direct style that emphasizes learning and applying new ways of coping.

Sessions are scheduled during weekday daytime hours. Prospective clients should review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial appointment.

How Kimberlee applies therapeutic approaches online

Kimberlee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT focuses on concrete skills and short-term strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep or relationship patterns.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working from the client’s priorities. That approach helps when someone needs to clarify goals and decide what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical communication techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kimberlee will discuss options with each person and help decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and goals evolve.

The biography documents past online counseling experience but does not list specific current formats. Confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday schedule, shorten travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to assign exercises, track progress, and practice skills between meetings.
