About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist in Missouri with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers calm, practical support for common worries and life changes. Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, and she focuses on clear steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach
Kimberly draws from several methods to match the person and the problem. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive behavioral tools help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
She also uses emotion-focused and dialectical skills when strong feelings get in the way of coping. Her work covers many concerns, including trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleep problems, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. She also addresses topics like abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and coping after disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Kimberly explains options plainly so people can pick what fits their life and comfort.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear tools to test new ways of thinking and coping with anxiety or depression. Emotion-focused work helps people name and process strong emotions so they become more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend steps to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions and keep consistency while dealing with busy days or travel.
