How Kimberlyn blends approaches for online work
Kimberlyn uses client-centered therapy to begin, which means she focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience before adding tools. That approach helps people state what matters and feel heard as practical steps are discussed.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and shifting patterns that keep someone stuck. When trauma is central, she includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a structured method aimed at reducing the hold of traumatic memories and the distress they cause.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kimberlyn will discuss options and decide together with the client which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as goals evolve.
