Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral work and trauma-focused methods. She also uses EMDR when appropriate to address past traumatic memories. The focus is on uncovering what gets in the way and helping people build on strengths.
Kim has been practicing for 21 years in community mental health settings. That experience has shaped a style that is patient and direct. She aims to help clients gain clarity and more control over daily challenges.
Clients can expect a mix of short-term skills and deeper processing, depending on what they need. Kim explains options clearly and invites input on goals and pacing. The goal is steady progress toward a life that feels more manageable and true to the person.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and letting the person lead the conversation. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to understand feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stress through homework and short-term skill building.
EMDR addresses distressing memories by pairing talk therapy with specific eye movement or other bilateral stimulation. It is often used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and improve daily functioning.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust plans as progress unfolds. Collaboration helps find the best fit for needs, pace, and comfort.
Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or a different way to process feelings without being on camera. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
