About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of life challenges. She listens carefully and helps parents and caregivers find new ways to respond to stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and issues like sleep problems or addictions.
Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up over time. She draws on 31 years in behavioral health and has worked with people across the lifespan.
Background and approach
That background includes individual and group work in clinics, nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health settings, foster care support, and employee assistance programs. She also has several years of online counseling experience. In sessions she emphasizes the present moment while connecting it to past experiences and future hopes.
She teaches mindfulness, breathing and meditation techniques, and invites clients to use their spirituality, relationships, and health goals as resources. Cognitive strategies and practical homework are common in her approach. Kimberlee uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
She adapts tools to each person's situation and focuses on clear, achievable goals. Progress is tracked by what clients can do differently between sessions. Her aim is that people leave sessions having learned something useful and with clearer next steps.
She keeps a down-to-earth tone and invites feedback about how therapy is going so adjustments can be made together.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a safe space to talk through parenting and family stresses. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and teaches simple behavior changes and homework tasks to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for anger, relationship challenges, and coping with intense stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most practical. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins and written reminders of skills. These options make it easier to practice techniques between sessions and stay connected when life is hectic.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
