How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully and shapes sessions around what the client brings, which can help when addressing anxiety, grief, or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behavior. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges because it breaks problems into small, actionable steps.

Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. It can be especially helpful for trauma, identity concerns, and making sense of difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what feels manageable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access help from wherever they are located within the therapist's region. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted.
