Approaches That Guide Online Care



Kimberly uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most to the individual. This approach helps with building trust, exploring values, and finding personal meaning in change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and managing day-to-day stressors.

Mindfulness therapy is another part of her practice, offering simple awareness and breathing techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness work supports people coping with overwhelming emotions and recurring worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and offer support in ways that suit a client’s lifestyle and comfort level.
