About Kim
Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people navigate grief, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, anger, and changes in life. Her approach aims to make hard moments easier to talk about and manage.
Kim uses a Client-Centered approach that keeps the person’s needs at the center of each session. She prioritizes listening and clear support over jargon. Sessions often include practical ideas clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. She has combined clinical work with writing, including a book on childbirth experiences. Kim brings personal experience with cancer, pregnancy and childbirth, and women’s health concerns into sessions when relevant.
She also incorporates humor when appropriate to help reduce tension and open conversation. Clients can expect a focus on building everyday skills for managing mood, sleep, relationships, and career stress. Kim highlights empathy, education, and encouragement as central to the work.
The goal is to leave therapy with tools that continue to help afterward.

Approaches Kim lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Client-centered care online and flexible formats
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns and priorities back so goals emerge naturally. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions by creating a steady, empathetic space to talk things through. Kim also draws on her experience with women's health, childbirth, and cancer-related issues when relevant to a client's story. That background can shape the topics and examples used in sessions but the work remains guided by each person’s needs and pace. Together they decide which techniques and conversation styles feel most useful. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter or more frequent contact for ongoing support between longer sessions. This mix of formats gives flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Licensed professionals can work with people across California to build skills for managing stress, anger, sleep, relationships, and life changes in practical ways.Questions people ask about Kim
