Kimberlee Thomas, LPC

Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who guides people toward new ways of thinking and experiencing their lives so they can feel better and sometimes even joyful. She prioritizes attentive listening and makes time to ensure each person feels heard. With a broad clinical background, Kimberlee has worked with clients from ages 2 through 103 on a wide range of challenges including trauma, career concerns, family and parenting issues for children and adult children, severe mental illness, relationship struggles, depression and anxiety, substance use concerns, sexual health questions, medical and aging-related issues, end of life matters, and grief and loss. In response to growing needs, she has spent the last six years studying and applying methods to support recovery from narcissistic abuse.

Her clinical experience spans individual and group counseling in office settings, private homes, group homes, nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health programs including work with Federal Probation and Parole and drug and alcohol groups, Native American health services, foster care families, employee assistance programs, and several years of online counseling. Kimberlee holds a Master of Counseling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a developmental emphasis and a sociology minor, and an Associate of Science in Psychology.

Kimberlee’s approach is holistic and rooted in the here and now, while attending to how past experiences and future hopes or fears shape present functioning. She commonly teaches mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation, use of personal spirituality, social supports, thought work, and health-oriented goals. Clinically she uses cognitive behavioral techniques, rational emotive techniques, transactional analysis, EMDR, and standardized inventories in a pragmatic way to help people build on strengths and pursue meaningful life goals. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and on clarifying goals as needed, with the aim that each visit leaves the person having gained something toward their well-being. Kimberlee is based in Oklahoma and is available Monday through Friday from 7:45 am to 4:15 pm CDT.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberlee draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting, collaborative space where the person’s own values and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and is helpful for relationship issues, self esteem concerns, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, goal-oriented method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with new behaviors. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills.

For trauma-related work, Kimberlee incorporates EMDR when appropriate to support processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact. EMDR can be an option for those working through past traumatic events or complex grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Kimberlee works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they shape a plan that may blend methods over time. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt techniques to fit each person’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility to receive care by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or geographic distance while maintaining continuity of care and steady progress toward goals.
