About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 31 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting, anger, and career matters.
She listens and helps people find different ways of thinking about life problems. Sessions are practical and aimed at clarifying goals. Kimberlee draws on mindfulness, breathing exercises, and meditative practices when clients are open to them.
Her work blends several approaches in straightforward ways. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person sitting in the session. Cognitive behavioral techniques and rational emotive methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Kimberlee also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where they fit. She applies assessments and inventories when they help track progress. The emphasis is on the here and now and how past experiences and future worries shape current life.
Her background includes individual and group counseling in many settings. These include community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, group homes, foster care families, employee assistance programs, and work with federal probation and parole. She has also provided online counseling for several years.
In sessions she helps people spot strengths and use them toward concrete goals. She will work with clients to clarify those goals and teach practical skills to support day-to-day life and parenting challenges.
How sessions work
How Kimberlee’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them in their home and family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. CBT often involves short homework tasks and skill practice between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can be useful when parenting feels overwhelming or when anger and strong emotions get in the way of daily life. Kimberlee will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on one method from the start.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use guided breathing, brief worksheets, and tracking tools between meetings to support progress in everyday situations.
