About Kimberly

Kimberly Adams is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with 37 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and relationship concerns. She also lists family of origin issues and support for LGBT clients among her areas of focus.

Kimberly uses approaches from attachment-based therapy and client-centered work to understand how early family roles and expectations still affect day-to-day life. She pairs those perspectives with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

In conversation she attends to how past relationship patterns show up now. That can include boundaries, communication problems, codependency, or struggles with intimacy and commitment. She also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career-related strain.

Her practice emphasizes straightforward discussion of problems and building concrete coping tools. Kimberly helps clients identify repeated family patterns and experiment with new ways of relating. She draws on decades of clinical work across many concerns to offer clear options and next steps.

People who choose her often want help understanding where old patterns began and how to change them in everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.

Online sessions using attachment and practical skill approaches

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affected expectations and behavior in adult life. It helps people recognize repeating patterns in closeness, roles, and communication so they can try alternative ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities, offering a non-directive space to talk through concerns and decide on goals.

Kimberly will collaborate with each person to find the best approaches for their needs and goals. She discusses options and adjusts techniques as the work moves forward, so the choice of methods evolves from a joint assessment of what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new communication or emotion regulation skills between meetings while keeping the focus on day-to-day changes rather than abstract theories.
