Online Therapeutic Approaches and Care

Dr. Kia Everett integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - it is useful for building self-esteem and exploring personal growth. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it practical for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and many everyday challenges. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for anger, trauma reactions, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Everett works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not practical.
