About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Kimberly uses a practical, conversational approach. She listens for patterns that keep people putting others first or getting stuck in worry and reactivity. Then she helps people try concrete tools to change those patterns, such as new ways of communicating, setting limits, and managing strong feelings.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles to understand how early relationships shape current habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to break unhelpful thinking and to build emotion regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas inform work around closeness and intimacy.
Kimberly helps people who live with the ripple effects of chronic stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or grief. She also supports those coping with substance issues, commitment fears, body image, and sleep or eating concerns. Problems related to abandonment, blended families, or communication are among the issues she addresses.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Practical exercises and real-world practice are part of sessions. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and try different responses in real time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting; it gives space for the client to lead conversations about what matters now and build self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In online sessions CBT often includes homework, brief in-session skill practice, and reviewing results between meetings. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and codependency-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try. She adapts the mix of listening, skill teaching, and exercises based on what the client needs and how they respond.
