About Kimberlee

Kimberlee Thomas is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 31 years in behavioral health. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, and anger. She aims to help people notice realistic changes they can use in day-to-day life.

She listens and gives time so people feel heard. Sessions focus on current problems while recognizing how the past and future shape responses today. Kimberlee uses practical tools like mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation alongside cognitive techniques to reduce reactive patterns and improve emotional regulation.

Her background includes individual and group counseling across many settings. She has experience in nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health, employee assistance programs, foster care support, Native American health services, and work with federal probation and parole programs. She has also provided online counseling for several years.

Kimberlee holds 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. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas, Rational Emotive techniques, transactional analysis, and EMDR in a pragmatic way.

In sessions she helps people name goals, practice skills, and build on strengths. She pays attention to thought patterns, social supports, spirituality if desired, and health habits that affect mood and anger. Kimberlee aims for each visit to leave people with a concrete step forward.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Kimberlee commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client's own goals, helping people clarify what matters and how to move forward. CBT looks at unhelpful thought patterns and offers practical exercises to change how those thoughts affect behavior and mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Kimberlee will collaborate with each person to match methods to their concerns, goals, and preferences rather than starting with a single fixed plan. This helps make sessions practical and relevant from the first meetings.

The biography notes experience with online counseling but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, a session that avoids travel time, or a phone call when internet bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so skills practiced in therapy carry over into daily routines.
