About Kimberly
Kimberly Adams is a licensed counselor with 37 years of experience helping people work through painful life changes and ongoing emotional challenges. She practices in Oklahoma and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Her work focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem, with practical attention to daily coping and relationships.
She uses Narrative therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered approaches to help people tell their stories differently. Sessions aim to uncover unhelpful patterns and build new, manageable ways of responding.
Background and approach
Kimberly listens for the values and strengths that people already have and helps them put those into practice. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sexual intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and workplace or career stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and identity-related matters such as LGBT concerns.
Kimberly works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, and codependency as well. People can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance that includes emotion-focused skills and practical behavior changes. She draws on elements from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
The emphasis is on small steps that fit into everyday life, not on labels or long tests. Kimberly pays attention to cultural and life-stage differences and adapts conversations to match where a person is right now. Her goal is to help people strengthen relationships, manage strong emotions, and move forward after loss or upheaval.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kimberly draws on Narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they live with and retell their experiences in more empowering ways. This approach is useful for issues like shame, identity questions, and stuck patterns because it focuses on shifting the story someone tells about their life.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. That perspective helps when anxiety, trust, or intimacy issues get in the way of daily functioning and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting along the way based on goals and what actually works in sessions. The plan evolves as progress is made and new needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit busy schedules or low bandwidth, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
