Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck.

That mix gives her a broad view of systems, resource options, and what helps in real life.
She draws on experience with many different diagnostic impressions when planning care. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kim encourages a collaborative process so people feel heard and can build skills for day-to-day challenges.

How Kim’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and guides how sessions proceed. In practice this means the therapist follows what the client brings, asks questions, and helps people find their own answers; it works well for stress, confidence, and parenting concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on strong feelings that shape relationships and daily choices. Sessions help people identify core emotions, understand how those feelings affect behavior, and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict or isolation.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to resolve mixed feelings about change. It helps people move from uncertainty to action by exploring values, strengths, and small next steps that feel doable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps clarify which techniques are most useful for parenting stress, grief, mood concerns, or other issues.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for in-depth conversation and reading expressions, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins fit well via text, and live chat allows a paced written exchange. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
