About Kimberly

Kimberly Adams brings a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-informed perspective to nearly four decades of clinical work, helping people identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical skills for daily life.

Background and approach

She pairs structured, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, person-centered stance that honors each client's experience while focusing on symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem difficulties. Her practice in Oklahoma has addressed a broad array of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy-related and relationship challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She also works with issues like communication problems, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and coping with life changes. Kimberly emphasizes culturally aware care and attends to the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

With credentials as an LCPC and LPC and 37 years of experience, she offers a steady, empathic presence alongside practical strategies for coping, emotional regulation, and improved relationships. Prospective clients are guided through an initial matching and scheduling process and can expect collaborative goal-setting and tailored interventions aimed at increasing resilience and day-to-day functioning.

Practical Therapy Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear, skill-based exercises for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based and client-centered principles to explore relational patterns, strengthen emotional safety, and center the client's experience as the basis for change.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern, combining structured CBT techniques with attachment or client-centered work when that better serves emotional exploration or relational repair.

Online sessions make these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility supports continuity of care for those with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints, and it allows practical skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor session format and therapeutic tools so each client receives an approach that fits both their life circumstances and their therapeutic goals.
