About Kimberly
Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 30 years of experience. She brings a steady, practical approach to therapy and focuses on family and parenting concerns among other issues. Her style is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on working together to find realistic steps forward.
Kim says the answers often come from within each person, and her role is to help uncover those solutions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, encouraging clients to practice new skills between sessions.
Background and approach
She also uses EMDR when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture. Her background includes work in outpatient mental health centers, a university student counseling center, and as an elementary school counselor. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to different ages and situations without relying only on one method.
In sessions she aims to create a supportive atmosphere where clients can speak plainly about stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, depression, relationship problems, anger, self-esteem, career choices, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes simple, doable steps rather than long lists of theory. Outside of work she values family time and outdoor life by lakes and oceans.
Kimberly views the decision to seek help as an important first step and plans to guide each person through a manageable path toward change.
Therapeutic tools and online care that fit family life
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life easier. CBT focuses on practical skills and homework you can try between sessions to build new habits.She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people coping with traumatic memories or strong emotional reactions. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories so they interfere less with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team process. Kimberly will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which method or combination to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, and family schedules. They also allow follow-up and skill practice between meetings so changes can continue at home.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
