She holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. Kim is also a published author; her book Childbirth Choices in Mothers' Words was published by Mills & Sanderson in 1990. Throughout her work she emphasizes education alongside emotional support so clients can learn practical skills to maintain progress after therapy ends.

As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings clinical training and a compassionate, person-focused style to each session.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Kim Selbert primarily practices Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's own goals. This style helps people process grief, examine life purpose, and navigate transitions by creating space for the client’s perspective to lead the work. She also integrates laughter as a healing modality, using gentle humor to ease tension, build rapport, and foster emotional release when appropriate.

In addition, Kim emphasizes education and practical skill-building so clients can use tools learned in sessions to manage stress, change, and relationships after therapy ends. She approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which combination of support, skills, and approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing therapy around work, family responsibilities, or during life transitions, while allowing clients and licensed professionals to focus on effective, person-centered progress.
