Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Kim uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy as key tools in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills to address depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the therapist supports each person in finding their own solutions and building self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kim works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Kim is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without changing daily routines, and they allow sessions to continue even when in-person meetings are not convenient.
