Kimberlyn prefers a client-centered way of working. She treats each person as the expert on their life and listens for the stories that shape how they feel and act.

She aims to translate insights into small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

Online session options
How Kimberlyn’s Approaches Work Online
Kimberlyn combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Online sessions use conversation to separate problems from identity and to explore alternative narratives that allow new choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises. In remote sessions clients might track thoughts, practice behavioral experiments, or try short skill drills between meetings.She also uses client-centered ideas to make the process collaborative. The therapist will listen first, then work with the client to pick approaches that match their goals and situation. Finding the right mix of narrative, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused work is a shared decision made over the first few sessions.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for a full session and face-to-face feel, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different daily routines.
