About Kimberly

Kimberly Adams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 37 years of experience in Oklahoma and Kansas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and major life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Her work often focuses on practical skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new habits. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to explore how past connections affect present choices.

Sessions aim to identify patterns in thinking and behavior. That can mean spotting triggers for anger, practicing new ways to respond, or building steps to manage burnout and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and chronic illness with attention to daily functioning.

Kimberly has experience with issues affecting identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries. She helps people work through abandonment, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress with direct, structured strategies.

Her approach combines goal-focused exercises with open conversation. Clients can expect work on concrete skills - for example, thought records, behavioral experiments, or emotion regulation techniques - alongside discussions about values and relationship patterns.

How Kimberly integrates CBT, attachment work, and client-centered methods online

Kimberly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered approaches in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying specific thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that interfere with daily life. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and closeness issues, which can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s perspective and use reflective conversation to clarify goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and new issues emerge.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use structured CBT exercises, emotion regulation practice, and behavioral homework in online sessions so that practical skills are practiced between meetings.
