About Kimala
Kimala Flowers is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 19 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and other everyday struggles.
Kimala practices in Mississippi and draws on ways of working that help people change thinking and behavior. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and trauma-focused strategies when past harm is central to the problem.
Her background includes work in outpatient community mental health and residential treatment settings. That experience means she is used to supporting people with severe distress, suicidal thinking, substance use, and behavioral concerns. She has worked with individuals across the lifespan in individual, family, and group formats.
In sessions she helps people set concrete goals and build coping skills they can use day to day. That may include practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions, learning problem-solving steps, or building routines for sleep and eating. She also helps clients look at relationship patterns and communication habits that make things harder.
Kimala mixes different approaches to match a person’s needs. She blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas about emotions and bonds with CBT, ACT, client-centered methods, and DBT skills where useful. Prospective clients can expect straightforward, skills-oriented work aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
How Kimala blends EFT, ACT and CBT in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns shape reactions and relationships. In practice this means naming hard-to-identify feelings and noticing how they affect behavior with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action, helping people move toward what matters even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits, teaching concrete strategies to change thinking and behavior.Choosing the best approach is part of the work she does with each client. The therapist collaborates with the person to try methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That way the plan can shift if something is not helping.
This profile does not list which session formats are used for remote work, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients use phone or lower-bandwidth connections if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT, ACT, and CBT techniques to the online setting so sessions focus on practical skills, emotional awareness, and steps clients can practice between meetings.
