Background and approach
Over five years she has worked in both independent practice and public agencies, which shaped her practical approach to care.

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing may be added to help with motivation and emotional regulation. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Kiana emphasizes small, achievable steps that fit into busy lives.
She also pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and issues such as substance use or trauma when they come up. People who reach out can expect a calm, practical tone and clear next steps. Kiana works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, grief from separation or divorce, and challenges tied to identity and self-esteem.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and working at the client’s own pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood and then practice new ways of thinking and acting to feel better.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences. Together they check what works and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, try brief coping tools between sessions, or communicate when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life with flexibility and consistent support.
