About Kimberly
Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family matters, intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Kimberly draws on a long history of working in varied settings and with many kinds of mental health concerns. Her experience includes supporting people affected by trauma, complex mood concerns, and care-related stress. She also brings a parent's perspective after raising two children, one of whom has a serious mental illness, and uses that perspective when discussing family and parenting worries.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She focuses on clear tools people can practice between meetings, not just talk. When someone struggles with shame, guilt, or relationship strain, she talks through concrete steps and coping strategies.
Kimberly also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, body image, codependency, communication problems, and blended family issues. She names and discusses these topics plainly so people can decide what to focus on first.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for guilt or shame that keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. This approach works well for anxiety, low mood, and relationship worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help in moments of high shame or relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then make practical suggestions about which methods to try first. You and the therapist can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-in sessions when needed, or letting people join from different places when schedules are busy. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills practice for virtual sessions so therapeutic work continues between meetings.
