Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kimberley commonly integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact they carry. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can help with mood instability and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Kimberley works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Kimberley is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow consistent access from different locations, and make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
