About Kimberlee
Kimberlee Thomas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on parenting concerns and related stresses. She listens carefully and helps parents and caregivers find new ways to think about daily struggles. Her goal is to help people feel more capable and to notice small improvements between sessions.
She has 31 years of experience across many settings, including community mental health, nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric units, and online counseling.
Background and approach
That background means she has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, and the strain of caregiving. She also helps with relationship and communication problems that affect family life. In sessions she uses plain, practical methods.
She teaches mindfulness, deep breathing, and simple meditation exercises when helpful. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical work and EMDR to address distressing memories or persistent thinking patterns. Kimberlee adopts a here-and-now focus while also acknowledging how past events and future worries matter.
She works collaboratively to clarify goals and build on strengths. Sessions often include skill practice, short assignments, and checking what feels useful for each person. Her approach is steady and pragmatic.
Parents who are overwhelmed by behavior, loss, or life transitions will find direct guidance and coping tools. She aims for each visit to leave people with something they can try before the next meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kimberlee often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered methods emphasize listening closely, validating experience, and shaping sessions around each person's concerns. CBT focuses on practical strategies such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy elements when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT-based skills include grounding techniques, emotion tracking, and practical tools for managing intense feelings or conflict. Together, these approaches give a mix of emotional support and step-by-step skills practice so clients can try things between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift and as people discover what helps them most.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice conversations, phone calls can fit into a brief break, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact and short reflections between sessions. These options help people fit support into busy family schedules and different daily routines.
