Kimberlee Thomas

Kimberlee Thomas is an LPC in Oklahoma who helps people manage anger and related concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She listens closely and focuses on practical changes clients can use between sessions. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more hopeful about everyday life.

She has 31 years in behavioral health and draws on a wide range of settings, from inpatient psychiatric units to nursing homes and community programs. That background gives her experience with many life stages and situations, including caregiving, aging, addiction, and trauma. She has also worked with court-involved groups, Native American health services, and foster care families.

Kimberlee emphasizes present-day concerns while recognizing how past events and future worries shape reactions now. She teaches mindfulness, breathing, and meditation skills when clients want them. She also encourages clients to use their spiritual resources, social supports, and health goals as part of coping.

Therapeutic tools she uses include cognitive behavioral strategies, elements of dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, existential ideas, and client-centered methods. She applies these tools pragmatically to help clients clarify and pursue their goals.

Sessions aim to build on strengths while addressing weaker areas. Kimberlee hopes clients leave each meeting with something useful to try. Her office hours are weekdays 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

Approaches that guide online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening carefully and letting the client set goals while the therapist helps clarify what matters and what to try first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication techniques that can reduce reactive behavior. Kimberlee will work with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs and goals, adjusting methods as progress is made. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences guide decisions.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific offerings are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as a phone check-in or a longer video meeting if that option exists. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your life and goals.
