Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Kimberley blends EMDR with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people process traumatic memories and change unhelpful thinking. EMDR is used to target distressing memories so they feel less intense, while CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression.She also uses attachment-based and client-centered principles to build a supportive working relationship. That means the therapist and client decide together which approaches to try and adjust methods based on needs and goals. This collaborative process helps find the best fit for the person rather than relying on a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversational work and EMDR-informed techniques when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to maintain continuity over time.
