Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Kimberly Averett draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore what they are feeling at their own pace, which can be useful when navigating grief, family stress, or major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, and day-to-day overwhelm by connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in clear, workable ways.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to process difficult experiences while strengthening stability and coping skills, helping clients feel more grounded as they move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. Therapy can be adjusted over time as those needs change.

Online therapy also makes it easier to access support in a format that fits real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, adding flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or days when meeting in person feels like too much.
