Kimberly Quintero , LPC

Kimberly Quintero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient mental health centers, a university student counseling center, and public schools as an elementary school counselor, supporting children, teens, families, and adults through a wide range of challenges including parenting, domestic violence, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and behavioral concerns.

Her approach centers on building a warm, supportive, and interactive therapeutic relationship. Kimberly relies primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop healthier patterns - and she encourages practice between sessions so clients can make real-world progress. As an LPC, Kimberly is trained to assess needs and guide treatment; she views clients as having the answers within themselves and sees her role as helping to uncover and apply those strengths.

Kimberly balances professional dedication with personal perspective. She has been married for 37 years, is a mother of three, and is a proud grandmother. In her free time she enjoys time at the lake and the ocean. She acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help and welcomes the opportunity to support individuals and families as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship difficulties. CBT is practical and skill-focused, encouraging small, achievable exercises that clients can practice between sessions to build lasting change.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for those coping with trauma and abuse. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories and sensations to reduce their emotional intensity and support adaptive healing for trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors treatment so methods align with what the client hopes to accomplish. Clients are involved in planning and can expect guidance in selecting techniques that fit their situation.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of support across locations, and provide multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most accessible and effective for them.
