About Kiara

Background and approach

Sessions mix reflection with concrete practice exercises you can try between meetings. Kiara has eight years of experience working with concerns such as relationship strain, family conflict, mood difficulties, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on body image and communication problems and supports people navigating life transitions.

Her background in New York gives her familiarity with urban stressors and fast-paced schedules. Her style is collaborative - she treats the person as the expert on their life. Together she helps set clear goals and tracks progress with simple tools.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with one or two practical steps to use right away. Kiara offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works in English and does not take international clients.

Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is set after completing a short matching questionnaire.

How Kiara's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then make choices that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises to practice noticing thoughts and committing to small actions that matter to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety and low mood. In remote CBT sessions, the therapist and client review real-life examples and set small between-session tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Kiara collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so they stay practical and relevant for the client's situation.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match how and when a person prefers to work.
