About Kimberly
Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of experience. She works with adults from early adulthood through geriatric years on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and family-related problems. Kimberly lists family of origin issues among her areas of focus and also helps people dealing with ADHD, addictions, parenting strain, and career stress.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, practical goals and track progress.
In sessions she works with clients to create a clear plan. That plan looks at current struggles, goals, and small steps to try between meetings. She offers feedback and checks progress so people know whether an approach is working.
Kimberly has worked with people from diverse backgrounds across several settings over eight years. Her practice emphasizes punctuality, practical resources, and consistent follow-up. Anyone wanting to address how early family roles and expectations affect current life can bring those concerns to her practice.

How Kimberly integrates her approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions and follows the client's lead to understand current patterns and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical strategies to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and measurable goals to build momentum and track change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will discuss options based on the client's concerns, goals, and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is reviewed so the approach stays relevant to the client's needs.
