About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and related stressors. Her manner is warm and straightforward and she aims to make sessions feel useful from the first visit.
Kimberly focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms and rebuild daily routines. She listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals that are realistic and measurable.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear steps you can try between meetings to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, mood, and focus. Her work blends supportive listening with structured tools. That mix can help with persistent worries, relationship strain, or changes after loss.
She uses approaches that pay attention to how feelings and behavior hang together, and how early attachment patterns still affect adult life. Kimberly also addresses challenges like addictions, body image concerns, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. She pays attention to how multiple problems can overlap and makes space to sort what needs priority.
Spanish-speaking clients can be seen in addition to English speakers. People who come for help can expect collaboration on goals and a flexible plan that adapts as progress happens. She holds both LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
Her practice emphasizes steady progress and practical change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online work can use this approach to map patterns and practice new ways of connecting in real situations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it suits conversations about self-esteem, decision making, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan so the therapy fits the person’s life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for interactive skill work and role play. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep steady contact while working toward their goals.
