Online session options
Approaches that guide online care
Kimberlee commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and to try out new, more helpful narratives. Narrative work is useful for relationships, identity questions, and recovering from past hurts.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her approach by creating a respectful, listening-based space where people can explore issues at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberlee will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then experiment with methods that fit. The choice of tools can shift over time as needs and progress change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when that feels important, phone calls use less bandwidth, brief live chat or messaging can fit a busy day, and text-based options support ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and other life demands.
