About Kimberly
Kimberly Adams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 37 years of experience practicing in Oklahoma and Kansas. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and the ripple effects of trauma. Kimberly also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and codependency.
She begins sessions by listening and getting a clear picture of what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer patterns of thinking and relating. Kimberly uses methods that help clients notice how past attachment and current thinking affect their choices and emotions.
Her work includes helping people who feel overwhelmed by others' needs or who lose themselves in relationships. She talks with clients about boundary setting, healthier communication, and ways to manage emotion-driven reactions like anger or intense worry. She also addresses stress tied to caregiving, chronic illness, and work pressure.
Kimberly draws on client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and emotion-focused techniques. She may introduce mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior approaches to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The aim is to build steady coping strategies people can use between sessions.
She is experienced supporting LGBTQ people and those navigating life transitions such as aging, blended family concerns, or career changes. Kimberly’s background across many settings informs practical, down-to-earth guidance rather than abstract theory. To start, a short questionnaire helps match goals and plan a first session.
How sessions work
How Attachment, CBT, and Emotion Work Translate Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It focuses on patterns of closeness and distance and helps people recognize how those patterns affect trust and boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps. It teaches practical exercises to test thinking and try new actions between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and make sense of strong emotions so they can respond differently in relationships and feel less reactive.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether attachment work, CBT skills, or emotion-focused exercises fit best for the problem at hand and the person’s goals. That plan can change as the work proceeds.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone keep going through a move or a work change without losing continuity of care. Licensed professionals adjust exercises and homework so the work still applies between meetings.
