For trauma-related concerns she can incorporate EMDR-informed work when appropriate.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Kimberly uses client-centered therapy to create a listening space where people can be understood without judgment. This approach focuses on the person's own goals and helps shape the work around what matters most to them.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and managing everyday stress with clear skill-building exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Kimberly treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are practical for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when a shorter moment of support fits your day. These options help people fit therapy into work and family schedules and maintain continuity through life changes.
