About Kimberly

Kimberly Adams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 37 years of practice in Oklahoma and Kansas. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home and work, including depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Kimberly also lists support around relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and concerns tied to identity and intimacy.

She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, and developing hands-on skills to manage strong emotions. Kimberly draws on approaches such as attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotion-focused techniques to address worry, mood shifts, and difficulties with close relationships.

Her background spans many settings and client situations over nearly four decades. That experience informs how she responds to issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, changes with aging, and the stresses that come with work and family roles. She lists additional focus areas including ADHD, codependency, blended family issues, and loss-related concerns.

In sessions, she prioritizes clear communication and practical steps. People can expect conversations that identify small, doable changes and build on what already works in daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape current reactions. It can be useful for relationship worries, abandonment concerns, and trouble trusting others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is something she will do together with the client. She will talk about goals, try methods that fit daily life, and adjust techniques as needed. Sessions are collaborative and aim to find practical steps the client can use between meetings.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between errands. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms - brief skill practice, longer emotion-focused conversations, or structured homework - and she will discuss what suits the client's schedule and needs.
