About Kimberly
Kimberly Donihue is a licensed therapist practicing in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and addiction. She also supports people working through parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD challenges, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Kimberly speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work.
She uses a somatic-informed lens alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded.
Background and approach
Kimberly focuses on what people notice in their bodies, relationships, and daily routines, then finds steps they can take to feel steadier and more capable. In the room she blends talking with attention to physical responses. That can mean slowing down to notice breath, tracking tension, or linking feelings to bodily sensations.
She also uses skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and DBT when helpful, teaching ways to manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Kimberly aims for a calm, respectful tone and a collaborative pace. She works with individual adults across many concerns including chronic illness, caregiving stress, grief after loss, and codependency.
Her style is adaptable so therapy matches each person’s needs and goals. Practical details are straightforward: she holds sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match people to her practice.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body. Online sessions can include noticing breath, tension, and grounding sensations while talking through experiences, which helps with trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress. Attachment-based therapy explores how past and present relationships shape feelings and patterns; online conversations can uncover these patterns and guide toward new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace, offering empathy and respect while the client leads the agenda.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with each client to decide whether somatic awareness, attachment-focused exploration, or a client-led stance fits best. That collaboration shapes goals, pacing, and which tools are used in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work during transitions or when travel is difficult. The variety also allows people to choose how they connect in ways that feel most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
