Kimberly Steinmann , LPC

Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience who brings both professional training and personal perspective to her work. She has practiced in a variety of clinical settings and has supported people facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including trauma, mood disorders, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, substance issues, and identity-related matters such as LGBTQ+ concerns.

As a mother of two adult children, one of whom has been diagnosed with a severe mental illness, she combines clinical expertise with lived parental experience to inform her approach. That dual viewpoint often helps her relate to families, caregivers, and individuals navigating complex emotional and practical challenges.

Kimberly emphasizes respect and equality for every person she meets, treating each client as deserving of time and attention. Her practice draws on evidence-informed approaches to build practical skills, improve communication, and address patterns that sustain distress. Based in Missouri and working with international clients, she is committed to helping people move toward their values and live fuller lives. Kimberly is known for her genuine enthusiasm for therapy and for bringing warmth and dedication to her clinical work.

Evidence-Based Therapies and Online Care

Kimberly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take intentional action toward meaningful life goals. ACT is often helpful for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate unpleasant internal experiences.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to change them. CBT is frequently applied to anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and many common concerns where changing thoughts and actions can reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kimberly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. As a licensed professional, she adapts techniques and pacing based on the client’s situation and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to receive care from different locations and on schedules that work for them. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
