About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 31 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger, career issues, and family of origin matters. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than labels or jargon.
Kimberlee uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people notice patterns that come from their family of origin and current life circumstances. She offers breathing and mindfulness practices, guides on thought patterns, and structured exercises drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches. EMDR is listed among her methods for processing difficult memories when appropriate.
Her background includes individual and group counseling in a wide range of settings. That has included community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, group homes, foster care family work, Native American health services, employee assistance programs, and work tied to probation, parole, and substance use services. This variety informs a practical approach to real-life problems.
In sessions she helps people name goals, try steps between meetings, and track what works. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and existential conversation where they fit the client's needs. Inventory tools and other pragmatic techniques are used to clarify strengths and obstacles.
Her education includes a master’s degree in counseling psychology, a bachelor of arts in psychology with a developmental emphasis and a sociology minor, and an associate of science in psychology. She invites clients to give feedback about how sessions are going and to refine goals as work progresses.
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own problem-solving. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, helps clarify goals, and checks in about what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful thinking and improve coping with anxiety, depression, sleep, or relationship strain.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. These skills are taught one step at a time and are useful for managing anger, intense stress, and interpersonal conflict. Kimberlee mixes these approaches to fit what a person needs, and she talks with each client about which methods to try first so the work fits their goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to join brief check-ins or follow-ups and to practice skills between meetings.
