About Kimberlee

Kimberlee Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, depression, and major life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strains, anger, and family issues. Kimberlee brings a calm, attentive style and aims to make clients feel heard from the first session.

She favors practical, down-to-earth strategies drawn from several approaches. Sessions often focus on skills you can use right away, like breathing and mindfulness, ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and concrete steps toward life goals. Kimberlee describes her work as holistic and centered on the present while still acknowledging past wounds and future hopes.

Her background includes three decades in behavioral health with experience in outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, group homes, foster care support, employee assistance programs, Native American health settings, and work alongside probation and parole services. She has also provided group counseling and online counseling for several years.

Kimberlee holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a developmental emphasis and a sociology minor, and an associate of science in psychology. Her toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and EMDR practices adapted in straightforward ways.

She aims to help people leave sessions with something practical to try between meetings. Sessions run weekdays during typical daytime hours, and she will work with each person to clarify goals and track progress.

How Kimberlee Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and can be helpful for people processing past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberlee collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

The biography notes Kimberlee has several years of online counseling experience, but current session formats are not specified here. Before booking, confirm which session options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between in-person visits if travel or location is a barrier. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and EMDR-informed processing to an online setting in pragmatic ways that focus on real-life results.
