About Kimberly

Kimberly Steinmann is an LPC with 27 years of clinical experience. She brings a direct, caring style to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. Kimberly writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first meeting.

Her background includes work across many settings and with a wide range of concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for people managing intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, and DBT into a plan that makes sense for day-to-day life.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins that keep momentum between appointments. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use phone-only check-ins when needed, or opt for video when visual contact helps the work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and home practice so progress continues even when life is hectic.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
