Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Dr. Kenya King integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice, using structured techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - an approach commonly used for depression, anxiety, and stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and how early connections shape current intimacy and trust issues - helpful for couples, family concerns, and attachment-related struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she may use, focusing on values-driven action and learning to live with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them, often useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. King works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she tailors or combines methods to find the best therapeutic fit. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most helpful and to adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy with Dr. King offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to receive consistent care around work, family, and other commitments, and they support continuity of treatment through life changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
