Approaches Kim names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Practical approaches for online care

Kim often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood shifts because it focuses on steps you can practice between sessions.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel intense or when relationships are a frequent source of stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means checking in about progress and changing the plan when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a close, conversation-style session; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
