About Kimberly
Kimberly Adams is a licensed counselor who uses a person-centered, attachment-aware approach to help people facing emotional challenges. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings 37 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma and Kansas to her work. Kimberly writes and talks plainly in session and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.
She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and low self-esteem. She also addresses addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Intimacy-related struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue are part of the range she supports. Kimberly combines client-centered listening with methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional bonding to help people change how they relate to themselves and others.
Sessions aim to build clearer communication, better coping skills, and more stable moods. Her practice also attends to issues such as body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging. She is experienced supporting people in the LGBT community and those navigating blended family dynamics or complex life transitions.
People who work with her can expect straightforward guidance, empathic listening, and practical tools to try between sessions. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling so therapy can begin when the timing works for each person.
Using evidence-informed approaches in online therapy
Kimberly often draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring values, and increasing self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another key approach she uses to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process lets clients try interventions and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect that can match your needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or comfort on camera is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it possible to continue work across schedules and geographic barriers while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
