About Kia

Dr. Kia Everett is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She centers the conversation on each person's goals and priorities. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who need practical steps and honest listening.

Her background includes long experience with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, anger, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those managing bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the strain that comes with caregiving and compassion fatigue. Adoption and foster care are listed among her additional focus areas.

Dr. Everett blends several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of emotionally-focused work when relationship patterns are the core concern.

Over three decades she has worked with people affected by trauma, workplace stress, first responder issues, and fertility or end-of-life concerns. Her practice emphasizes clear communication, coping skills, and realistic strategies that can be used between sessions.

People who choose her can expect a direct, collaborative style that aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes. She asks practical questions, suggests tasks to try between visits, and adjusts the plan as needs change.

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead; online sessions can recreate that by focusing on what matters most to the client and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change them; it often uses short exercises and worksheets that fit well into an online format.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and everyday demands, and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus, homework, and small steps to try between visits.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to attend appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on hard days. It can also let people use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, or short skills practice when that matches their needs.
