About Kimberly
Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 27 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Kimberly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear skills people can use between meetings, like recognizing unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding exercises, and identifying values to guide decisions. Her background includes many clinical settings and years supporting people with mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the impacts of complex trauma.
Kimberly also brings personal perspective from raising adult children, one of whom has faced serious mental illness, which informs how she talks about caregiver stress and parenting strain. In therapy she emphasizes collaboration. She listens for what matters most, then helps set realistic, step-by-step goals.
Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at improving day-to-day coping and relationships. Kimberly offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments are available in multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when choices feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends techniques, adjusting the plan as people try things and report what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good when visual cues matter and you want a more traditional session. Phone sessions work well for people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
