Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki, LPC

Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Kimberly emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental approach so clients can speak openly and find practical ways forward.

She works with adults from early adulthood through later life. Sessions focus on day-to-day coping, improving communication, and building plans that fit each person's routine. Clients can expect punctual, professional care and a steady emphasis on small, measurable steps.

Kimberly draws on client-centered methods to make people feel heard and respected in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help reframe unhelpful thinking and solution-focused strategies to set clear, actionable goals. These approaches are combined to match what each person says they want to work on.

In sessions she helps people develop routines, practice new ways of responding, and track progress over time. Feedback and short-term goals are used to check how things are improving and to adjust the plan as needed. The work can include skills for managing anxiety, grieving a loss, or handling family-related stress.

Her eight years of experience in counseling inform a practical, supportive style. People who want structured steps and a respectful listening space may find this approach useful. To begin, clients follow the platform steps to connect and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel heard and understood. This helps when people are facing grief, life transitions, or low mood and need a steady listener to sort through options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. It is useful for stress, worry, and mood management. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic goals and the steps to reach them, which can be helpful when someone wants quick, actionable changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss each method and help the client choose what fits their needs, goals, and daily life. Sessions are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so the plan stays practical and goal oriented.

Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while the therapist works with the client to keep goals realistic and track progress over time.
