How Kimberley’s approaches work in online therapy

Kimberley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses trauma-focused methods including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing components to help process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. These approaches aim to make distressing memories feel less triggering and to teach skills for grounding during hard moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberley discusses goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and then recommends methods that fit the person’s needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on how someone responds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick exchanges, and messaging can be used for short check-ins or to share tools between appointments. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
