Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kimberly integrates EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address trauma and mood-related concerns. EMDR is a structured method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Her practice is also grounded in a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. Kimberly works with clients to explore what matters most to them and to tailor interventions to individual goals and values. Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - she helps clients and therapists decide together which methods fit best based on needs, preferences, and progress.
Online therapy with Kimberly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the communication style that best supports ongoing growth and problem solving.
