Kimberly Quintero, LPC

Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 30 years of experience supporting children, teens, families, and adults through a wide range of challenges. She has worked in outpatient mental health centers, a university student counseling center, and served as an elementary school counselor in public schools, bringing a broad background in developmental and community-based settings.

Quintero focuses on practical, skills-based care and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach, encouraging practice between sessions to build lasting change. She also integrates EMDR for trauma-related concerns when appropriate. Her clinical work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting and family issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Known for establishing a warm, supportive, and interactive relationship with those she sees, Quintero emphasizes collaboration and the belief that clients already hold the solutions they seek. She guides people to discover and apply those strengths in daily life, tailoring strategies to individual needs and goals.

Outside of clinical work, Quintero has been married for 37 years and is a parent to three children and a proud grandmother. She enjoys spending free time at the lake or the ocean, and she values the commitment people make when they begin therapy.

CBT and EMDR Delivered Through Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It emphasizes practical skills and exercises that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties in relationships or parenting by building new patterns and coping strategies.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach used to address trauma and abuse-related distress. It involves structured processing of distressing memories and experiences and can be helpful for those working through traumatic events and their ongoing effects.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly Quintero works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain consistent work on goals with the support of licensed professionals and therapists.
