How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist. Kimberly listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people build on their strengths to handle anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety and low mood because it gives specific exercises to change thinking patterns and daily routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques can help with intense worry, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She adapts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what feels doable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter conversations. These options make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to keep momentum while managing daily life.
