Evidence-based approaches for online care
Kimberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for times of high stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another option she uses to help clients clarify values and take committed actions that fit the life they want.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will listen to your concerns, discuss these methods, and tailor a plan that fits your goals and preferences. Together you will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling-style reflections, or quick skill practice between sessions. These options help fit care around work, caregiving, and daily life.
