About Kimberly
Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of experience. She works with adults from early adulthood through geriatric years. Her main concerns include anxiety, depression, grief, coping with life changes, and family issues.
She listens first and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Kimberly uses straightforward conversation and tools to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Kimberly draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative responses. Solution-focused tools help set short-term goals and track small wins.
Her approach includes creating a predictable plan for progress. She and the client set measurable aims, review results, and adjust steps as needed. This makes work feel more manageable when life feels chaotic.
She has experience across many concerns beyond the core areas, including ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career questions. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Kimberly works in English and practices in Louisiana. People who want a practical, goal-oriented way of working through stress, loss, or transitions may find this approach helpful. To begin, follow the site's booking steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on what the person identifies as most important. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps prioritize next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests simple behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on setting short-term goals and tracking small, practical gains that can be repeated between sessions.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kimberly will discuss the options with the client, consider goals and preferences, and agree on steps together. That planning stage helps determine which methods to emphasize and how to measure progress over time.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum when life is hectic. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions allow for easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and consistent follow-up without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to make each meeting focused and action-oriented.
