Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Dr. Kimball Pier offers remote sessions that can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain ongoing therapeutic contact while working on relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, grief processing, or parenting plans.
Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns of connection and relational needs, helping people and couples understand how early bonds influence present interactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events and historical family wounds in a structured, paced way that attends to symptoms and safety. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily experience and physical responses to stress and trauma, integrating mind and body awareness into conversations about change.
Dr. Pier frames work as a collaborative process in which the person or family and the therapist examine patterns, try new approaches, and plan practical steps when appropriate. Remote formats are offered across the available communication modes to support different preferences for interaction.
