About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures and wider concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also addresses ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues noted in her practice.
Her approach focuses on practical conversations and clear strategies. Sessions often look at how past attachment patterns affect current relationships. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, and cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Kimberly draws on emotion-focused tools when feelings are central to a problem, and uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping and emotional regulation skills. She can also work with trauma-related material using approaches that address distress and memories directly.
She speaks English and Spanish and has experience with issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and blended family dynamics. Her background includes supporting people through life changes such as job transitions, grief, and coping with chronic conditions.
Practical work in sessions includes skill building, communication practice, and planning concrete next steps. Kimberly asks about a client’s goals and priorities and adapts methods to what helps most. To begin, clients use the site’s match process and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds. Online sessions can use conversations and exercises that help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflection, helping people clarify what matters to them and set goals through regular discussion and check-ins. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful habits and is often suited to addressing anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is viewed as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what feels most useful. That means practices may shift over several sessions as priorities become clearer.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when helpful. It also makes it possible to keep continuity through moves or job changes, and to use written or spoken exercises between sessions to reinforce skills learned in appointments.
