Approaches that guide online work
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy to shape her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ideas about themselves and situations, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on improving how partners communicate and repair conflict by practicing new, structured ways of listening and speaking.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to move forward. Together, these approaches give a mix of skills practice, clearer communication, and motivation-focused planning. Figuring out the best mix is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will help identify goals, try methods, and adjust as needed so sessions match a person's needs and preferences. For practical session details, confirm the current options before booking so you know how therapy will be scheduled. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping focus on clear skill-building and communication practice.
