Kimberlee Thomas, LPC

Kimberlee Thomas helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, caregiving challenges, aging and geriatric issues, and trauma. Kimberlee listens carefully and focuses on practical steps to feel better in daily life.

She uses a direct, down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations aim to clarify goals and find small, doable changes. She introduces mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation when helpful, and draws on the client’s own values and spiritual resources.

Kimberlee brings three decades of work in behavioral health. Her settings have included inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, group homes, community mental health, Native American health services, foster care, employee assistance programs, and online counseling. That range informs her approach to common and complex problems.

Her training includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and an Associate of Science in Psychology. She holds the LPC credential. Kimberlee uses cognitive behavioral methods, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical strategies, client-centered work, and existential ideas in practical ways.

In sessions she often uses inventories and transactional tools to map patterns and track progress. She expects clients to take an active role and offers concrete skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with major transitions. Her goal is for people to leave sessions with something useful to apply between meetings.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and offering empathetic support. It helps when someone needs a listening ear and guidance to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, manage mood, and handle life stressors through practical exercises.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distress tied to those memories. It is often applied when trauma or abuse is a primary concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will test what methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process shapes how therapy proceeds over weeks or months.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it simpler to continue care while managing caregiving or mobility limits.
