About Kiara
Kiara Yancey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Kiara also supports clients navigating LGBT concerns and family stress.
She centers sessions on open, nonjudgmental conversation. Kiara encourages people to name what matters to them and to try small, practical steps between meetings. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at building confidence and clearer communication.
How Kiara works
People come to Kiara for many reasons. Some seek help with feelings of guilt or shame after difficult events. Others want to work through patterns of abandonment or improve how they talk about needs.
She also helps clients explore sexuality and grow self-love. Kiara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape treatment plans. She tailors ideas to each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method.
Progress is measured in real changes people notice day to day. Sessions can be a space to sort priorities, practice new skills, and plan manageable next steps. Kiara describes beginning therapy as an act of courage, and she aims to meet people where they are.
Her goal is to support clearer thinking, steadier mood, and stronger self-respect over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kiara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts to reduce low mood and increase motivation. Another approach centers on building communication skills and emotional awareness to improve relationships and reduce conflict. These methods are presented in clear, step-by-step ways so clients can use them between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kiara will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set small, measurable goals and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written exercises, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
