About Kimberly

Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family concerns.

Background and approach

She combines empathic listening with practical tools to help clients facing emotional pain, life changes, sleep and eating challenges, parenting strain, and issues related to self-esteem or intimacy. Kimberly brings particular attention to complex areas such as attachment wounds, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of cancer or natural disasters.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and adaptability, pairing client-centered engagement with evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as needed. She also uses attachment-focused and emotionally focused techniques to address relational patterns and deepen emotional processing.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Kimberly works with adults to explore communication problems, commitment concerns, avoidance patterns, and coping strategies for bipolar symptoms and compassion fatigue. As an LMFT and LPC (MO LMFT 2007031919, MO LPC 2008010204), she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where practical strategies and personal insight come together to support growth and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and interactions, helping clients identify and change repeating relational dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor techniques from these approaches so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to change or achieve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular care from Missouri without traveling, to practice skills between sessions, and to maintain continuity of support during life transitions or when in-person visits are impractical.
