About Kimberly
Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, ADHD, and related concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness.
Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. Kimberly emphasizes clear goals and simple tools to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across many clinical settings and with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, attachment issues, codependency, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy questions and those coping with life changes like divorce or blended family adjustments. Kimberly speaks from both professional and personal perspective.
She is a parent of adult children and has lived experience supporting a family member with severe mental illness. That perspective informs how she talks about caregiver stress and boundary-setting. People describe her as someone who enjoys the work and takes an equal, respectful approach with every client.
She aims to create a collaborative space where practical steps, consistent follow-through, and honest conversation lead to steady progress.
Approach-driven care that fits your schedule
Kimberly uses practical therapies that help people make changes in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them, which can help with avoidance, low motivation, and living with persistent symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kimberly works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, strengths, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress or new issues appear. Clients help set goals and decide which skills to practice between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
