Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She also uses narrative approaches to help people reframe painful events and find new ways forward.

Kiara has roughly five years of focused experience with substance use and addictions for teens and adults, plus work around sexual assault and trauma. She notes experience with adults, couples, and teenagers in multiple care settings, and aims to honor multicultural preferences in therapy.

Her background as someone who moved frequently while growing up informs an emphasis on adaptability and resilience. Kiara encourages clients to set the pace and says her role is to offer support and guidance until they reach their goals.

How Kiara’s approaches work with online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set realistic goals. This approach is useful for sorting out anger, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed anger.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These tools are often used when strong feelings or impulsive reactions cause problems.

Choosing the right approach is a process. Kiara will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She revises the plan as progress is made so sessions stay focused and useful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can allow shorter check-ins, weekday or evening meetings, and ways to keep therapy consistent without long travel times.
