Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
The therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support to help you find your own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online care. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, shortening travel time, and keeping appointments during life changes. Online work can make it easier to check in from different places or to schedule a shorter session when time is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills, review goals, and support coping between in-person meetings when applicable.
