Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Kimberly often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and the roles they play. This approach helps when patterns of thinking or old labels limit what a person believes is possible. Narrative work can be useful for identity concerns, grief, and relationship patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based ideas are woven into sessions when relationships or early patterns are part of the concern; those ideas help people understand how their close relationships affect feelings and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts tools as needed so the plan stays practical and grounded in daily life.
Online therapy lets people use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their life. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face connection. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a person needs to step away from a screen. Live chat and messaging are handy for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
