Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Kimberley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy as foundations for her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making meaningful life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns and early attachment experiences to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers support and validation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberley works collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a person's goals, preferences, and needs. She adapts techniques from these models to create a tailored plan that feels manageable and relevant to each individual's situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or manage care from home. These options support continuity of care and make it possible to access licensed professionals and therapists even when in-person visits are not feasible.
