Kimberly Donihue, LMFT, LPC

Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist in Missouri with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works with individuals who are coping with ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and changes like parenting or caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to make difficult problems easier to talk about and handle.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She uses practical listening and clear feedback to help clients spot patterns and try small changes. Therapy can focus on stronger communication, healthier routines for eating and sleeping, or building coping skills for chronic pain and illness.

Kimberly draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current behavior. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people test unhelpful thoughts and develop new habits. Emotion-focused work supports processing strong feelings that get in the way of everyday life.

Over the years she has supported people facing blended family stress, caregiving burden, body image concerns, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. She keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change and on manageable steps toward those goals.

Her credentials are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. To begin, a reader selects the Start Therapy button, fills out a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape present reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns, practice new ways of relating, and rehearse different responses to stress or conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses short exercises, thought records, and stepped plans that fit well into weekly online appointments. Emotion-Focused Therapy helps people get in touch with strong feelings and learn how to process them without being overwhelmed; this can be useful for grief, trauma reactions, and relationship pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what is working in early sessions. That collaborative process helps shape the pace and focus of care.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people keep therapy consistent during caregiving, medical treatment, or other life changes by making scheduling more flexible.
