Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and direction of work - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many practical coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and building coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Kim works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. She draws on these evidence-informed approaches to tailor support rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, goal-oriented work through these formats, and Kim uses the available options to match the way each client prefers to engage.
