About Kimberly
Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of experience. She combines lengthy clinical practice with the perspective of a parent of adult children. Kimberly lists work with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family issues, and intimacy-related struggles among her focus areas.
She describes herself as a generalist who has worked across many settings and with many kinds of mental health concerns. That includes experience with complex conditions and trauma, and with people navigating relationship, attachment, and parenting challenges. Kimberly also notes lived experience supporting an adult child with severe mental illness, which informs how she talks about caregiver stress and related worries.
Her approach draws on several methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions tend to center on clear, practical strategies and conversational problem-solving rather than technical jargon. She aims to help people manage symptoms, improve communication, and cope with life changes.
Kimberly lists additional interests such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and sexual diversity including kink and alternative sex culture. She also works with issues like ADHD, dissociation, and complex mood conditions.
People looking to address parenting stress, relationship strain, or the emotional impact of caregiving may find her background relevant. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Kimberly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small, purposeful actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and everyday life. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful for you.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to focus on consistent, practical steps that translate into home and family life.
