About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Kimberly uses practical, person-focused methods to help people spot patterns that come from their family of origin and current relationships. She listens for how attachment and communication habits affect work, parenting, and close relationships. Conversations are direct and aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape expectations today. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person in front of her, and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation.
Sessions often include concrete skill practice, clearer communication strategies, and steps to address sleep, eating, or substance concerns when those are part of the picture. She helps people work through abandonment worries, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image struggles.
Kimberly combines these approaches to address both immediate symptoms and longer-standing patterns from childhood and family of origin experiences. The aim is to help people make changes that fit their daily responsibilities and relationships.
Approach to therapy and how online sessions work
Kimberly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and behavior in adult life. This approach helps people understand why old family roles or closeness patterns still affect their choices and responses now. Client-centered work focuses on each person’s perspective, allowing conversations to follow what matters most in the moment and building on the client’s own strengths.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for changing patterns linked to family of origin issues. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; Kimberly will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences as therapy progresses.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. If you are considering online sessions, they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals who provide remote sessions often adapt materials and skill practice for the screen, and Kimberly will help plan sessions so they work with everyday responsibilities and goals.
