About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 31 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and sleep problems. Kimberlee also addresses parenting stress, anger, career concerns, and patterns like codependency and attachment issues.
She keeps sessions focused on current problems and how past experiences shape them. Kimberlee listens and helps people clarify what matters to them. She introduces mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation as practical skills to try between sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centered ways of working and cognitive behavioral techniques to notice thoughts and try different responses. She also uses dialectical behavior skills and EMDR when appropriate to address intense emotions and trauma memories. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and short assessments to track progress.
Kimberlee’s background includes individual and group counseling across many settings. She has worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, foster care, employee assistance programs, Native American health services, and with federal probation and parole programs. She also has several years of online counseling experience.
Education includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a developmental emphasis and sociology minor, and an Associate of Science in Psychology. In sessions she helps people name goals, build on strengths, and take small practical steps toward those goals.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person identify their own priorities and goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to emphasize open conversation, checking in about what matters most, and adjusting the pace to what the person needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In online sessions CBT often includes homework, thought records, and brief skill practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address relationship patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to address traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. When EMDR is used, sessions combine focused memory work with guided processing and calming skills to reduce distress tied to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberlee will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals and what feels workable. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.
The biography notes prior online counseling experience but does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can help fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques so sessions remain practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
