Online session options
How her approaches guide online work
Kim uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their reactions and relationships; this approach can be useful for grief, identity questions, relationship struggles, and patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of her work, which means sessions focus on the person's own perspective and the therapist follows that lead to build understanding and strength. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas are used when attachment and emotional bonding are central concerns, helping people name emotions and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor techniques to a person's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can shift as new needs emerge and progress is reviewed regularly.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel, and they allow people to choose what fits their daily life.
