About Kiara

Kiara Pittman is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with eight years of work in clinical settings. She brings a warm, welcoming approach and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or coping with loss and life changes. Kiara focuses on practical steps and listens closely to each person’s goals.

She has worked in clinics, hospitals, outpatient programs, home-based care, and addiction services. That background includes about five years working with substance use concerns and with survivors of sexual assault and trauma.

Background and approach

Kiara also pays attention to cultural differences and adapts her approach to each person’s background. Sessions are collaborative and client-centered. Kiara uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their experiences and cognitive-behavioral skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She blends those with mindfulness and some dialectical-behavior tools to build coping skills and emotional balance. People can expect direct listening, practical exercises, and space to set their own goals. Kiara aims for therapy to feel engaging and useful rather than abstract.

She encourages small changes that build toward larger shifts. Her personal history moving often as a military child shaped her focus on resilience and adjustment. That life experience informs how she talks about change, adaptation, and reframing difficult events.

Kiara presents herself as a steady, adaptive presence during the work of therapy.

How Kiara’s Approaches Work Online

Kiara often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives; this approach can help reframe past events and reduce the hold of painful narratives. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers the person's own goals and pacing, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to improve mood and functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits. Over time the method can be adjusted based on what helps most and what feels comfortable for the person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or text give a quicker check-in or a way to reflect without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep appointments, use therapy between work or school obligations, and pick the format that best supports daily routines.
