Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kimberly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name deep emotions that shape their responses. EFT can help when people want to understand strong feelings and improve emotional connection in relationships or personal coping. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach ways of living alongside difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward meaningful goals.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts tasks and exercises so they fit the client’s life and pace, making decisions together about what to try next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier with lower bandwidth and for a quick check-in, and messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional growth.
