Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and finding direction when routines break down.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday stressors.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These tools can support emotion regulation and clarity during stressful periods.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your day. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic techniques described above, adapting exercises and homework to an online setting.
