Approaches that guide online sessions
Kim often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns; this can help when relationship patterns or attachment issues contribute to anger or anxiety. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when stronger emotion awareness and repairing connection are priorities.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, check progress, and adjust the plan if something isn't helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or a quick emotional check. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping treatment consistent and flexible.
