Kimberly Ream, LPC, LMFT

Kimberly Ream is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Missouri with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Kimberly also works with issues such as addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style is practical and people-focused. She listens to what is happening now and what patterns keep showing up. Sessions often include talking through reactions, noticing triggers, and building short-term skills to reduce the intensity of strong emotions.

Kimberly uses several clinical approaches to guide her work. She draws on client-centered methods to center a person’s own goals, cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles, and EMDR for certain trauma-related memories. She also uses elements of existential therapy to clarify values and the Gottman Method for relationship communication when relevant.

In session she helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild trust in relationships where anger or hurt has been present. She supports practical change such as workplace coping strategies, parenting adjustments, and ways to manage grief that don’t add to shame or isolation.

People who want clear steps and direct conversation about anger, control issues, or recurring conflict may find this approach useful. To begin, she asks about present concerns and recent patterns, and then works with each person to set realistic short-term goals.
