About Kimberlee

Kimberlee Brinkley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional setbacks.

Background and approach

She draws on an integrative orientation that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to support clients in building practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Kimberlee emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others.

Her work often centers on improving communication, restoring self-esteem, and addressing issues such as trauma, grief, addiction, and eating concerns. Kimberlee also focuses on attachment and family-of-origin themes, codependency and commitment concerns, and the interpersonal effects of separation and infidelity.

She aims to create a collaborative and respectful space that balances skill-building with thoughtful reflection so clients can move toward clearer values and healthier choices.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Kimberlee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach that is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying values and learning to accept uncomfortable experiences while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, focusing on empathetic listening and supporting a client's own process for self-discovery and growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberlee works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress is made and new needs arise. This helps create a tailored plan that blends skill-building with reflective work.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to engage consistently while balancing work and other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skill practice, and check-ins that adapt to a client's schedule and communication style.
