Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Kimberlee uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate problems from who they are. This involves talking through the stories someone tells about themselves and gently testing new, more helpful narratives. It can be useful for relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, grief, and major life changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where a person’s goals guide the work. In this style the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, helping people feel understood before introducing techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is added when targeted skills are needed to change thoughts and behaviors, such as in anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative step. Kimberlee will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Together they track what helps most and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people use therapy during work breaks, caregiving windows, or when travel would be difficult.
