About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and codependency. She listens carefully and works to make sure clients feel understood. Her goal is to help people find clearer thinking and better ways of handling life changes and addictions.
She draws on three decades of experience in settings that include inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, community mental health, employee assistance programs, and online counseling. That range means she has worked with many kinds of concerns, from parenting and caregiving stress to trauma, medical issues, and end-of-life matters. She has also focused on recovery from narcissistic abuse in recent years.
In sessions she focuses on the here and now while acknowledging past experiences and future hopes. She teaches practical skills such as mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation when clients want them. She also encourages use of personal strengths, faith or spirituality if helpful, and everyday health goals to support progress.
Clinically she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, rational emotive approaches, transactional analysis, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. These are applied in a straightforward way to help clients clarify goals and make steady changes.
Kimberlee aims for each visit to leave clients with something useful to try between sessions. Her office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Central Daylight Time.
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Client-centered therapy places the client's experience at the center and focuses on listening, empathy, and respect. It helps people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and gives clear tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional balance and coping, useful for intense reactions, anger, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Sessions may combine listening with skill teaching, short practice exercises, and planning real-world steps to test between meetings.
This therapist has experience offering online counseling, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in can fit a work break, or a non-video option can be chosen when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and which online options are available.
