About Kimberly

Kimberly Copeland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stressful and painful times. She leans on practical, evidence-based methods and works at a steady, positive pace. Her goal is to help clients set clear, realistic goals and take small steps toward them.

She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when those methods fit the concern. That looks like learning skills to manage strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and processing difficult memories when needed.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what helps each person now. Kimberly has five years of experience as a therapist and previously worked in community mental health and a personal agency. She uses a warm and authentic style so people feel heard and understood.

Her approach is strengths-based and practical, with an emphasis on finding solutions that fit daily life. She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family and relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career and workplace issues, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas include attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. Sessions are offered in English and Kimberly is licensed in Oklahoma as LCSW 7932. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, empathetic relationship. It helps people feel understood and guides them to find their own solutions to everyday problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often involves learning practical tools to manage anxiety, mood, and stress and practicing those skills between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for people wanting better emotional regulation and more stable reactions in stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, EMDR, or another method is the best fit, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls approximate an in-person session, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work routines while keeping treatment consistent and practical.

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.
