Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online care
Kimberly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. This approach looks at the meanings people give events and helps identify alternate storylines that support change. It can be useful for grief, identity-related concerns, relationship themes, and life transitions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered work focuses on listening, validation, and building a trusting connection so people feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk through goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person and situation. She encourages testing small changes and adjusting methods over time so the plan matches what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school schedules.
