Online support options
Approaches and options for online sessions
Kimberly commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace so goals emerge from the person's own concerns; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and try new habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps match tools to problems like grief, trauma symptoms, relationship difficulties, or caregiver stress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls let people use nonverbal cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and texting are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking.
