Dr. Kia Everett

Dr. Kia Everett is an LPC with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her style is grounded and practical, aimed at steady progress during difficult life changes.

She uses a collaborative, person-centered approach. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and improving everyday coping. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about feelings, patterns, and next steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory.

Her background includes work with people facing workplace strain, grief, relationship problems, and complex family dynamics. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption and foster care. That experience informs a flexible, strengths-based way of working.

Dr. Everett draws on several therapeutic methods to match the needs of the person in front of her. She blends client-centered work with cognitive strategies and emotion-focused techniques to reduce symptoms and increase self-understanding. Dialectical approaches are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal change are priorities.

Practical tools are emphasized in sessions. That can mean learning new ways to manage intense feelings, practicing communication skills, or planning concrete steps through a life transition. The goal is to help people leave therapy with clearer coping strategies and a stronger sense of agency.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the person’s pace. The therapist helps people name what matters and supports their own problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Everett will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since options were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online sessions can support skill practice, review of tools, and regular planning as life changes occur.
