About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Kimberly’s style is collaborative and practical. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feeling and behavior. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools help her teach concrete skills for managing emotions and distress.
For trauma and intense emotional pain she incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to understand patterns in close relationships, and attachment-based interventions to tend to early relational wounds. Sessions include talking through current problems, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. She blends skills practice with deeper exploration, depending on the issue at hand.
Kimberly supports people navigating parenting stress, blended family issues, abandonment concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body image struggles. She also helps with communication problems, commitment issues, and codependency. Her work includes addressing both clinical symptoms and practical day-to-day coping.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kimberly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape how people respond to guilt, shame, and intimacy concerns. This approach helps identify patterns in how someone connects or withdraws from others and what those patterns mean for present-day feelings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-centered work means the therapist follows what the client says matters and organizes sessions around those priorities. CBT focuses on clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and repetitive shame cycles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan over time. She treats that decision as a collaborative process, combining skills practice with deeper relational or emotional work as needed.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use sessions for focused skills practice or relationship exploration without rearranging large parts of their day.
