About Kimberly

Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana who works primarily with adults from early adulthood through geriatric years. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related matters.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental, empowering environment where clients can explore emotions and build practical skills for daily wellness. Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-based tools to help people navigate life transitions, process losses, and address chronic or situational mental health challenges.

Kimberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to shape collaborative treatment plans, set measurable goals, and track progress. With eight years of clinical experience she brings punctuality, practical resources, and a commitment to helping clients find sustainable ways to communicate, cope, and grow.

Clients who value respectful listening, structured goal-setting, and a therapist who partners with them to evaluate outcomes may find her style a good fit. She offers several remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences and tailors interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Approaches and Online Care to Support Change



Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in respectful, empathic listening and places the client's experience at the center of the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and make choices consistent with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and uses structured techniques to develop healthier coping skills; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goal setting to produce measurable changes and forward momentum in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work alongside the client to consider needs, goals, and personal preferences and then adapt methods as progress and feedback indicate, so treatment remains relevant and focused on measurable outcomes.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reduce barriers related to travel or scheduling. These remote formats support ongoing care, allow for flexible pacing, and make it possible to use CBT and solution-focused strategies in ways that match each person’s routine and comfort level.
