How Kim’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions when anxiety or stress feels overpowering.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. It can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and practise new, healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. That collaboration helps make sure the tools and conversations suit each person.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's expressions, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to write out thoughts or have shorter, more frequent check-ins between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving commitments and keep progress moving forward.
