Approaches that guide online sessions

Kim uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships. This approach looks at how early connections shape current ways of relating and can help with trust and closeness issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping with daily stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods are used when the work centers on improving emotional connection and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kim will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions and short-term goals.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for emotional work, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and caregiving responsibilities.
