Kimberly Quintero, LPC

Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 30 years of experience. She has worked in outpatient mental health centers, a university counseling center, and as an elementary school counselor. Kimberly focuses on building a warm, supportive relationship and guiding people toward solutions they already hold.

Kimberly helps people facing stress and anxiety as well as grief, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Her background includes work with children, teens, families, and individuals in a range of settings.

Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she commonly encourages practice between sessions so skills can grow in daily life. Kimberly also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate for trauma-related work. She emphasizes practical steps that clients can try between meetings.

In sessions she aims to be interactive and supportive, asking questions and offering tools while helping people discover their own answers. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the therapist guides and the person chooses what fits. Short exercises, skill-building, and regular check-ins are part of her style.

Outside of work she values family time and enjoys lakes and oceans. That personal perspective informs her belief that everyday life and relationships are central to healing and change.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and uses short exercises to change how someone thinks and acts, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used for trauma-related concerns. It involves recalling distressing memories while following guided attention techniques to reduce emotional intensity and support processing of the event.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix makes the most sense for the issue at hand.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping continuity when life gets hectic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easy to schedule around work, school, or caregiving, and short check-ins or regular weekly sessions can be arranged to match daily routines.
