Approaches in online work and what they do
Kimberly uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means she listens carefully and follows the person's priorities, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Solution-focused therapy is used to set small, doable goals and build momentum through practical steps that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.When trauma is part of the story, trauma-focused therapy helps people process what happened at a pace they can tolerate. This approach emphasizes safety and gradual progress so painful memories or reactions become less disruptive. Kimberly will talk with each person about what approach or mix of approaches feels right and will adjust plans as work progresses.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low, and text-based options can be good for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and let people continue work even when travel or scheduling would make in-person meetings difficult.
