Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, offering empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experiences and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly partners with each person to determine which combination of methods best aligns with their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment in a way that feels practical and relevant.

These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining a focus on meaningful progress.
