About Kimberly

Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 30 years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of work in outpatient mental health centers, a university student counseling center, and public schools, including time as an elementary school counselor.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and coping with life changes. She favors a warm, supportive, and interactive therapeutic relationship that encourages practical skill building between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of her approach, with an emphasis on identifying patterns, practicing new strategies, and applying tools in daily life. She frames her role as a guide who helps clients uncover their own strengths and solutions while offering direction and encouragement.

Outside of work she values family time and life by the water, and she brings a grounded, encouraging presence to her work. Prospective clients who want a collaborative counselor focused on skill development and real-world practice may find her style a good match.

How CBT and EMDR Translate to Online Care

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, learn alternative ways of thinking, and practice new coping strategies that can be applied between sessions. EMDR is used as a structured approach for addressing distress linked to traumatic memories, using guided processing to reduce the emotional intensity associated with those events.

Selecting the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine whether CBT, EMDR, or a combination best matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That exploration includes discussing what feels most comfortable and what techniques seem most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and the ability to continue work from different locations. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care and ongoing practice of skills between meetings.
