About Kim

Kim Class is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, intimacy issues, career concerns, addictions, and LGBT matters. She also helps with self-esteem, depression, bipolar challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and coaching needs. Kim brings 28 years of experience and practical, straightforward care to each conversation.

Her style is direct and warm. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding clear next steps.

Background and approach

She aims to make clients feel heard and to reduce shame about difficult feelings. The room is meant to be a place to talk honestly and figure out realistic, doable changes. Kim uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she helps people name and shift strong feelings. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are tools she uses to support change and reframe life stories.

Her background includes roles in both nonprofit and personal agencies, and she continues administrative work at a local agency while running a independent practice. Kim holds a New Jersey LPC license and has nearly three decades of clinical experience. Practical options are available for remote sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

People who want to begin can use the platform’s sign-up process to match and schedule their first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following a person’s lead and offering empathic listening to help them figure out what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a steady space to think through decisions or emotions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in how they experience and express strong emotions. It is often used for relationship and intimacy concerns or when intense feelings block connection and coping.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps people clarify their goals and move toward change. It works well for career shifts, addictions, and situations where motivation feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a path to try. That decision is made together and can change as progress continues.

Online sessions offer practical benefits: video calls bring face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging provide flexible ways to stay connected between meetings. These options can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping the focus on clear, collaborative steps forward.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
