BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kim often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns because it breaks problems into concrete steps and skills.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT skills practice can reduce intense emotional reactions and offer ways to handle crisis moments differently.
Motivational interviewing appears in her work to help people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change. This approach focuses on conversation that helps someone find their own reasons to try new behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know what online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills between brief sessions and regular appointments to fit work and family routines.
