Kimberly Donihue, LMFT, LPC

Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. Kimberly works in English and Spanish and brings 16 years of experience to her practice.

She uses a collaborative, straightforward style in sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Kimberly listens for attachment patterns, communication habits, and emotional blocks, then helps clients test new ways of relating and coping.

Her work blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused approaches. That means sessions often balance validation and reflection with concrete skills to shift thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and attachment-based ideas are added when they fit the person’s goals.

Kimberly has helped people navigate caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image concerns, and the fallout from loss or abandonment. She frames progress as small, steady changes rather than instant fixes. Clients leave with tools for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and making clearer choices.

She practices in Missouri as an LMFT and LPC, and she tailors work to each person’s cultural and life context. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions using this approach look at patterns in relationships and help people experiment with new ways of relating and asking for needs to be met. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and priorities. In this approach the therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, teachable skills such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on symptoms, goals, and day-to-day life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make attending sessions easier by removing travel time, fitting appointments into a workday break, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use screen-shared worksheets, guided exercises, and in-session coaching to practice new skills and track progress over time.
