What Kimberly says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hello! My name is Kim Quintero and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma. I have over 30 years of experience working with children, teens, families, and individuals dealing with a variety of issues ranging from parenting, domestic violence, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and behavioral problems. I have worked in outpatient mental health centers, university student counseling center, as well as in public schools as an elementary school counselor. I believe in establishing a warm, supportive, and interactive relationship with my clients. My therapeutic approach is mostly Cognitive Behavioral and for many problem areas, I highly encourage practice between sessions as this is how we all improve in areas we want to get better at. I believe that the solutions are within YOU and my job is to help you discover them. I will guide you to the best of my ability.

Personally, I have been married for 37 years. I have been blessed with 3 wonderful children and 1 beautiful granddaughter that I adore! I absolutely love the lake (oceans too), so in my free time, that's where you'll find me if I have the chance!

I applaud the steps you are taking right now. That's the first step to the new YOU! I look forward to getting to know you, and the journey we will take together!

03 · How Kimberly works

The 2 approaches Kimberly lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Kimberly lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Kimberly's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Kimberly runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and ReprocessingEMDR

A structured trauma protocol in which you hold a distressing memory in mind while following a repeated side-to-side cue. The mechanism is still debated; the outcome data in post-traumatic stress is strong enough that it appears in national treatment guidelines.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Kimberly practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kimberly's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kimberly at this point.

2. Naming Kimberly specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kimberly is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kimberly.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Kimberly

Built from what Kimberly actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kimberly's - Kimberly has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 30 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Kimberly's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Kimberly. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
