Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes small exercises to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories. This approach separates a person from their problems and can make room for different meanings and choices about relationships and self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods that match those needs. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or flexibility around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
