Approaches used in virtual sessions and how they help
Kim commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which suits anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.She also draws on motivational interviewing to build commitment for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking next steps. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; Kim will work with each person to find what fits their goals, pace, and preferences.
