Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques into her online practice to meet individual needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values, emotions, and goals - this approach often benefits those working through grief, self-esteem concerns, or relationship challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on concrete goals and short-term strategies to build momentum and find workable solutions for specific problems such as coping with life changes or parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and daily life, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
