About Kim
Dr. Kim Rodriguez helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, workplace challenges, and major life changes. She is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience based in New York.
Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward. She has worked extensively with people in recovery from addiction and with those affected by addictive family patterns. She also supports people dealing with grief and end-of-life matters, and those trying to find direction in their careers or life purpose.
How Kim works
These topics often overlap, and she helps clients untangle what matters most to them. Her style is client-centered. Sessions focus on listening first and following the client's lead.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationships and attachment patterns are part of the concern. In sessions, she creates an open space for people to name difficult feelings and practice new ways of responding. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to real-life obstacles like work stress or caregiving demands.
She encourages small, achievable steps that add up over time. Dr. Rodriguez aims to empower clients to make decisions that match their values.
She meets people where they are and helps them build confidence, improve communication, and manage triggers related to addiction and codependency.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client needs. Online sessions let a therapist follow your pace, help you set goals, and adjust the conversation to what feels most pressing in your life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions affect relationships and attachment. In virtual work, EFT helps people notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of connecting even when not in the same room.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter updates, quick coping tools, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
