About Kimberly
Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with three decades of experience. She brings a steady, calm presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use right away. Her background includes work in outpatient mental health, a university counseling center, and public elementary schools.
Kimberly aims to build a warm, interactive relationship and encourages practice between sessions to make progress outside the room. Parents often come for help with stress, parenting challenges, grief, and behavior concerns.
Background and approach
Kimberly listens for what matters most and helps people break problems into clear, manageable steps. She uses everyday language and hands-on exercises so parents can try new strategies at home and see what works. Her approach leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and uses small experiments to change patterns.
She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories when appropriate. Kimberly guides clients to discover their own solutions while offering structure and practical tools. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on real-world practice between visits.
She draws on experience with children in school settings to understand family rhythms and routines without making assumptions. The pace is respectful and geared toward steady, achievable change. Outside of work she values family time and outdoor life, especially lakes and oceans.
That personal side informs a down-to-earth style aimed at helping people make usable changes in daily life.

How CBT and EMDR work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and trying new behaviors to see what changes. It often suits stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting challenges.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used for processing distressing memories and trauma symptoms. The therapist guides the client through structured attention and recall exercises to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and related reactions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kimberly will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and preferences before recommending a path. She adapts methods as progress is seen and encourages active practice between sessions to reinforce gains.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, reminders, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to work consistently toward goals.
