Kimberly Quintero

Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with over 30 years of experience. She draws on decades of work in outpatient mental health centers, a university counseling center, and public elementary schools. Kimberly focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and parenting concerns.

She aims to build a warm and interactive relationship with each person. Sessions emphasize practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to break worries and unhelpful patterns into small, manageable changes.

Kimberly also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related work when appropriate. She encourages active practice outside sessions because real change often happens between meetings. The therapist frames challenges as problems people can learn to handle one step at a time.

Her background includes school counseling and work with children, teens, families, and individuals facing parenting and behavioral concerns. That breadth gives her a range of approaches to lean on depending on the situation. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps during the work.

Outside of practice, Kimberly values family time and outdoor life by the water. She views taking the first step toward help as important, and she aims to guide people toward practical solutions they can use in daily life.

How CBT and EMDR Can Be Used Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with small, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and coping with life transitions. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach for working with memories and reactions linked to trauma and abuse; it helps reduce distress tied to those memories when used carefully.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix makes the most sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around a work break, or avoiding the need to use a camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can keep practicing between meetings and build steady improvements over time.
