Online session options
How her approaches work online
Kim uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about their lives and problems. This approach helps when past events, family roles, or recurring patterns make someone feel stuck by separating the person from the problem and finding new meanings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect one another. CBT helps with anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, ADHD-related challenges, and practical coping skills by teaching simple tools to test thoughts and change behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kim will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She tailors methods collaboratively so sessions feel relevant and doable for daily life.
Online formats make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible touchpoints while managing work or family demands.
