Online support
How her approaches work in online therapy
Kim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by breaking down problems into clear steps and practicing new responses.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. DBT techniques can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest methods that fit. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is working and what needs more attention.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow longer, face-to-face conversations; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, and flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, travel, and family obligations.
