About Kimberlee

Kimberlee Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. She offers straightforward care for issues like parenting struggles, sleep trouble, anger, career concerns, addiction, trauma, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Kimberlee listens closely and helps people feel heard during difficult moments.

Her approach centers on the present while honoring past experiences and future hopes or worries. She uses practical tools such as mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation, and attention to spiritual or social supports when clients want that. Cognitive behavioral techniques and other structured methods are part of the work when they fit a person’s goals.

Kimberlee’s background spans individual and group counseling in many settings. That includes nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health, foster care families, employee assistance programs, Native American health services, and work alongside probation and parole programs. She also has experience providing online counseling.

She draws on a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a developmental emphasis and a sociology minor, and an Associate of Science in Psychology. Her style is pragmatic and goal-focused; she helps clients clarify steps and build on strengths while noticing areas that need extra support.

Sessions aim to leave people feeling they made progress toward their goals. Kimberlee works weekdays in Oklahoma and uses techniques such as EMDR and transactional analysis when they suit the situation.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address distress from traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

The biography notes prior online counseling experience but does not list specific current session formats, so confirm options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who prefer working from their usual routine while they apply new skills between sessions.
