About Kimberly

Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist in Missouri with 16 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions clear and useful for busy parents and adults feeling overwhelmed.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients name what feels hardest.

Together they set small goals that fit daily life. Sessions focus on what to try between meetings as much as what happens during them.

Kimberly uses several practical approaches when they help. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns.

She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Emotion-focused tools help with strong feelings like grief or trauma reactions.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through parenting stress, relationship strain, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, attention challenges, chronic illness, and caregiving burden. She also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes.

Her background includes work with a wide range of emotional and medical concerns, and she aims to adapt methods to each person. Kimberly holds licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri.

She helps people take small steps toward steadier days.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. Online sessions can help people notice triggers, practice new ways of relating, and rehearse different responses to partners or loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions clients often learn specific tools and homework that fit into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist reviews your goals, listening style, and life demands, then suggests methods to try together. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer it. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use chosen tools in real life.
