About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas brings three decades of counseling experience to her work in Oklahoma, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, career concerns, trauma, and many life transitions.
Background and approach
She centers sessions on the present while acknowledging how past experiences and future hopes shape current feelings and choices, aiming to help clients discover new ways of thinking and feeling that support clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a holistic perspective.
Kimberlee often incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking patterns, client-centered listening to ensure people feel heard, and targeted methods such as EMDR for trauma-related processing. Mindfulness, breathing practices, and attention to spirituality and health are offered as optional tools clients may use to strengthen coping and resilience.
Kimberlee has worked across many care settings including community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, foster care, and employee assistance programs, and she has experience with online counseling.
She holds an LPC and uses pragmatic interventions like inventories, rational emotive techniques, and transactional analysis alongside collaborative goal-setting to help clients leave sessions with something concrete to work on.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical access
Kimberlee blends structured and experiential methods to help clients address specific problems and broader life concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and empathy, offering a supportive space where clients explore their values, feelings, and goals at their own pace. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used selectively for trauma-related memories and can help reduce the intensity of distressing recollections through guided processing.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine strategies over time as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the plan fits the person's situation rather than applying a single method rigidly.
Online therapy with Kimberlee is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, allowing clients to engage in evidence-informed techniques and practical skill-building from wherever they are located in Oklahoma.
