Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work. This approach helps people explore their values and build self-directed solutions for issues like relationship strain, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with challenging emotions by developing problem-solving and mood-management techniques.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process and heal from traumatic experiences while attending to safety and pacing. It can be helpful for those dealing with past abuse, overwhelming stress responses, or ongoing trauma-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect from home or another convenient location. Sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for options that fit different routines and comfort levels while maintaining continuity of care with a therapist.
