About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She focuses on practical steps and clear conversation.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. She brings calm, steady attention to relationship and family concerns. With 30 years of experience as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), she keeps things straightforward and goal-oriented.
Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could help.
Background and approach
She checks in on coping skills, communication, and boundaries so clients feel more able to handle daily life. Dr. Everett also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and fertility or end-of-life matters. She works on communication problems, codependency, and control issues when those come up. Therapy may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve attachment and closeness.
Existential ideas are used when people want to clarify values and meaning. Sessions are available in English and conducted online by video, phone, chat, or text. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs support sorting feelings and deciding what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. It works well when people want practical tools for day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for emotional reactivity and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and then recommend strategies that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process means approaches can be combined or adjusted over time to match what helps most.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions offer an alternative when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options provide flexibility and steady access to a licensed professional while working through family and life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
