How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Kimberly uses well-established techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness practices. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness strategies teach simple attention and breathing exercises that can lower stress and help with emotional regulation.She also uses somatic-informed techniques that pay attention to body sensations and grounding exercises. These approaches can help people who experience trauma or chronic pain by teaching ways to notice and gently shift tension in the body.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses. Together they review what's working and what needs to change so sessions remain focused and relevant.
Practical advantages of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to continue care across locations within the states she serves. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are available, and expect sessions to emphasize skills practice, short check-ins, and tools that can be used between appointments.
