About Kimberly

Kimberly Steinmann is an LPC with nearly three decades of clinical practice who emphasizes evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside compassionate, client-centered care.

Background and approach

She draws on 27 years of professional experience working across a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family dynamics, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBTQ-related matters.

Her approach blends practical skills training with mindful awareness and acceptance strategies to help clients navigate life transitions, manage intense emotions, and improve communication and self-esteem. Kimberly also attends to complex presentations such as attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, codependency, blended family challenges, and concerns connected to adoption or foster care.

She values collaboration and aims to tailor interventions to each person’s situation and goals. Based in Missouri, Kimberly offers therapy that acknowledges both clinical and personal perspectives, informed in part by her own family experience.

Prospective clients can expect a practitioner who brings warmth, dedication, and a focus on helping people move toward more functional, meaningful lives.

Integrating approaches for effective online care

Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful goals, which can help with coping, life changes, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds rather than sticking to a single technique from the start.

Online therapy with Kimberly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier for people to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and regular therapeutic support.
