Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps people learn practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. It is useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and developing coping tools for stressful moments.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-centered awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness. These practices often complement CBT and DBT by helping clients observe thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods accordingly so the treatment plan fits each person’s circumstances.
Online therapy enables sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to access support from licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
