About Kimberly

Kimberly Donihue, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, has 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Kim uses multiple approaches depending on the person and the problem. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape present relationships. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions so the person leads the pace and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach practical coping skills for mood and behavior change.

Her work includes a broad range of related concerns such as self-esteem, sleeping and eating issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, blended family matters, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems. The description reflects areas she lists as part of her practice.

Kim frames treatment as collaborative. She listens to what matters most, then suggests evidence-informed techniques and concrete skills. Sessions may include talking, skill coaching, and exercises to try between meetings.

She practices in Missouri and holds both MO LMFT and MO LPC credentials. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Kimberly's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns of connection. Online sessions using this approach look at how past attachments affect current relationships and help people try new ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and priorities so practical goals emerge from what matters most to the person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often means identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and setting short between-session exercises.

Finding the right model is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so ask which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also supports shorter check-ins, skills practice between meetings, and access to therapists who speak English or Spanish without needing to travel.
