About Kim
Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who helps people facing anxiety, grief, stress, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, sleep problems, and parenting challenges. Kim brings ten years of counseling experience to her work and writes in a warm, accessible way.
She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person in front of her. That means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace, aiming to build trust and clarity.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical tools and information to help people cope between meetings. Kim draws on a varied background that includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. She is also a published author of a book about childbirth experiences.
Those experiences shape how she understands illness, aging, and parenting topics. Her style is calm and direct. She values empathy, education, and a bit of humor when it fits.
The goal is to help people gain skills they can use long after therapy ends. People who want help with depression, career transitions, loneliness, or women's issues often find her straightforward manner helpful. She combines practical strategies with listening so clients can move forward at their own pace.
Client-centered approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what the person says and helping them find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, and life transitions because it emphasizes understanding and personal meaning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify what feels most helpful based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments can be made over time if a different balance of support, skills training, or discussion is needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation similar to in-person sessions. Phone calls can require less bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions and share thoughts in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations.
