Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Kimberly Yazell

Dr. Kimberly Yazell uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathic space where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal goals, relationships, and life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems related to substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Yazell works together with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions and set clear steps for progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who support each client's recovery and growth.
