Kimberlee Thomas , LPC

Kimberlee Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and reduce overwhelm. Kimberlee listens carefully and works with each person to set clear, reachable goals.

She draws on 31 years in behavioral health, working in many settings including community mental health, inpatient units, nursing homes, group homes, and online counseling. That variety means she has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, aging and caregiver stress, and problems tied to medical issues. She has also supported people affected by narcissistic abuse and its aftermath.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools like mindfulness, breathing exercises, thought work from cognitive approaches, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate. The focus is on what helps now - skills to handle emotions, improve communication, and build routines that support sleep and daily functioning.

Kimberlee emphasizes collaborative care. She helps people clarify goals, notices strengths, and suggests practical exercises to try between meetings. Clients can expect a calm, attentive approach and regular check-ins about progress.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a developmental emphasis and sociology minor, and an Associate of Science in Psychology. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.

Approaches and online options for changing how you cope

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your own goals; the therapist offers empathy and reflection so you can find your own answers and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression by teaching practical techniques like thought records and activity planning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma is a key concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what you want to achieve, try different techniques as needed, and adjust plans based on what works best for you. Together you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quick emotional check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let you send brief updates or get steady support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life without traveling to an office.
