About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 31 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, trauma, and life changes. Kimberlee often helps people who are navigating parenting, career shifts, sleep problems, anger, and family conflict.
She listens carefully and helps people reframe how they think about their problems. Sessions focus on present-day concerns while acknowledging how past experiences and future hopes shape current feelings. Kimberlee uses practical tools like mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation, and attention to spiritual or social supports when clients want those options.
Her work draws on several structured methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered as one approach for trauma-related material. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Kimberlee's background includes individual and group counseling across many settings such as community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, and employee assistance programs. She has worked with people affected by substance use, severe mental illness, and those involved with probation and parole programs.
Practical goals are central in sessions. She uses inventories and transactional analysis among other techniques in a pragmatic way. Clients and Kimberlee set clear goals together and review progress so each session feels focused on something useful.
How Kimberlee integrates therapeutic methods online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so clients can clarify their goals and priorities. It helps when someone wants a reflective space to sort out decisions or feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management because it produces concrete strategies to try between sessions.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used with trauma-related memories to reduce their emotional intensity. When trauma is part of the picture, EMDR can be one option among several ways to address those memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try different techniques based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients help decide which methods feel most helpful and adjustments are made as work proceeds.
