How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. It focuses on building small habits and choosing meaningful steps even when thoughts feel difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She tailors strategies so they can be practiced in everyday life and adjusted over time based on what works.
