Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kim commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as part of her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and tests new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to help manage stress, improve sleep, and notice emotional triggers.She also draws on motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about making changes. That approach helps clarify personal goals and build practical motivation. Together these approaches give straightforward tools and short exercises clients can try between sessions to check progress.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before and then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are made as needed so work stays relevant to your day-to-day life.
