Kimberly Steinmann, LPC

Kimberly Steinmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She brings 27 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach to sessions. Kimberly aims to make therapy approachable and useful from the first meeting.

She favors goal-oriented methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and take small action steps toward healthier routines. Conversations are direct and focused on what people can do between sessions.

Kimberly also draws on client-centered and dialectical skills to support emotional regulation, communication, and connection. She has worked with trauma, mood concerns, addiction-related issues, and relationship difficulties, and she helps clients facing parenting strain, caregiving stress, and identity-related questions. Her experience includes working with people from LGBTQ+ communities and varied life situations.

Family concerns such as adoption, blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment issues are part of her practice, as are intimacy-related topics including kink and alternative sex culture. Kimberly can also assist with neurodiversity-related struggles like ADHD and co-occurring conditions when those come up in therapy.

She conducts sessions in English and works with clients in Missouri and internationally. Session options include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness work online

Kimberly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions usually involve identifying specific thoughts, trying out new responses, and practicing skills between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address relationship patterns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions. ACT can be useful when someone is stuck avoiding pain and wants to build a more meaningful life despite uncomfortable emotions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of the present moment and to reduce reactivity, which helps with stress, emotional ups and downs, and trauma-related triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together whether CBT, ACT, mindfulness exercises, or a mix fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text suit quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent work on goals.
