Online support

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered care. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through homework and practice. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories using guided attention and processing, often helping people feel less triggered by past events. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborating on goals to make sure therapy fits the person. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk about your goals and try methods that make sense for your situation. She adapts the plan over time based on what helps, and she involves clients in decisions about pacing and techniques. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, midweek support, or therapy during a busy schedule easier to fit in. These options aim to make consistent care more practical for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs.
