Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It uses practical, skills-based exercises to address issues like anxiety, depression, and stress so clients can notice measurable shifts in how they feel and act.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with what matters most. This approach is useful for managing avoidance, worry, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It can help individuals and families repair connection, improve communication, and reduce reactive behavior rooted in attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kimberley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for busy lives and changing circumstances. Kimberley provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. Working remotely with licensed professionals makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to integrate therapy into daily routines.
