Background and approach

Her background includes work in clinics, hospitals, outpatient programs, in-home care, and addiction services. She has about five years of focused experience with substance use concerns and with sexual assault and trauma. Those roles shaped how she responds to crisis and recovery in everyday language and steps.

Kiara draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She helps people notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and build coping routines that fit daily life. Sessions blend talking, skill practice, and planning.

Growing up in a military family taught Kiara to adapt quickly. She has lived in many places and traveled widely, which informs her multicultural awareness. That perspective helps when people bring differing backgrounds and beliefs into therapy.

Kiara focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, and life transitions. She welcomes direct questions about goals and next steps and works collaboratively to set a path forward.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's needs and goals. It relies on listening, empathy, and collaboration so people set the pace and direction of work. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and decide what to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small experiments to shift reactions. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns where concrete steps can reduce symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. DBT skills are practical tools to use during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, short skill practice, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
