Kia Hebb, LPC

Kia Hebb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia who brings seven years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She holds a master of science degree in counseling and offers affirming care for LGBTQ clients, including those navigating gender identity, sexual expression, consensual non-monogamy, and kink or BDSM related concerns. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related challenges such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image and eating concerns, codependency and communication problems, mood disorders, family conflict, and experiences of grief or shame.

Kia approaches therapy from a collaborative, client-centered stance, emphasizing that each person is the expert on their own life. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and humanistic principles while integrating attachment-based, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing techniques when they match a client’s needs. Rather than prescribing answers, she guides clients to discover insight and build practical skills, offering between-session work to support practice and growth.

Sessions are approximately 45 minutes, and the first meeting is a conversational intake where Kia shares her background and asks about what brought the client to therapy. Early work often includes a structured goals sheet covering nine life areas - from relationships and career to health and personal development - which is reviewed about every six months to track progress and update priorities. Prospective clients are invited to review availability and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Kia's Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Kia uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits, and to develop practical strategies for change. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her work, focusing on how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues. She integrates client-centered principles to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals and values guide treatment and collaboration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kia works with each person to determine which combination of techniques fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to receive support from home. These options allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while still working with a licensed professional committed to practical, goal-oriented care.
