Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Kimberly Yazell uses a mix of client-centered work and evidence-informed therapies to support people in navigating stress, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals - it is often helpful when someone needs a supportive space to explore feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them - this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Yazell works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques from different therapies to find the best fit. Clients are active partners in shaping treatment plans and pacing progress.
Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet people where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and support steady progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
