About Kim
Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people navigate grief, life changes, stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She brings ten years of counseling experience and uses a warm, person-focused style to make therapy approachable. Sessions aim to help clients feel heard and to build practical skills that support everyday life.
Kim often uses a Client-Centered approach that places the client's experience at the center of sessions.
Background and approach
She listens closely and follows the person's pace, offering guidance and education when helpful. Humor and shared human experience appear in her work when appropriate, creating space for relief amid hard topics. Her background includes a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a master’s in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California.
She is also a published author of Childbirth Choices in Mothers' Words, released in 1990. These experiences inform how she talks about pregnancy, childbirth, and women's health issues. Therapy with Kim focuses on developing real coping tools for problems such as insomnia, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, career transitions, and depression.
She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conversational and practical. Kim aims to teach skills clients can use after therapy ends.
The goal is steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
How Kim Uses Client-Focused Therapy Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's experience. The therapist creates space for you to tell your story, reflect on feelings, and decide what changes matter most. This approach helps with grief, life transitions, anxiety, and parenting concerns by centering what feels important to the client.Kim emphasizes collaboration when choosing techniques and goals. She will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means the plan can change over time based on what is working and what is not, instead of sticking to a single approach from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people access care from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and keep contact between meetings when helpful. Using different formats can make it easier to try therapy without major disruptions to daily life and helps people maintain steady progress despite changing circumstances.
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.
